Thank you again for your sincere efforts. Actually I found an easier one
which is built in LyX.
Lyx has a very large collection of symbols and characters, for example to
insert “therefore sign”:
go to "Math mode" inside the placeholder >Insert > "Special symbols" -
select "therefore sign".

Best regards.

A-Imam
