I'm just examining the obfuscation possibilities for logical statements. 
We've got the inverted A for "for all", and the mirrored E for "there 
exists", and the three dots for "therefore", but is there any symbol 
that represents "such that"?

I've always used a vertical bar for "such that" in set definitions, 
apparently you can use a colon as well:
