This is not a medical shorthand and searching that wya may not produce the
results.
I have used the with symbol myself since I was at promary school in the
1960s (in Australia). I was introduced to the triangle when I studied
macroeconomics at university, also in the 60s.
I also use three dots shaped in a triangle for "therefore".
There is something similar for "because" that I don't use. I think it is the
triangle with the apex dot on the line and the 2 dots on top.
