It's normally called a dotted minim, or using American terminology a dotted half-note, if you are counting in 4 time (counting in crotchets). In 8 time (where each beat is a quaver) it would be a dotted crotchet (dotted quarter-note).

Well, there is no three beat note but it is possible to make one. One way is to take a half note, if the time signature is 4/4, and add a dot to the right of it. The dot will add half of the value of the note, which would be three beats because half of a half note is a quarter note. Another way to do this is to draw two quarter notes with a dot side by side on the same line or space. Then draw a curved line connecting them together, which is called a tie.

If you take a minim (a two beat note shown with an open circle with a stem) and then put a dot on the right, that will be three beats and it would be called a dotted minim.

It is typically a dotted half note, but that depends on the time signature. In 3/4 and 4/4, a three beat note is a dotted half note, but in 6/8, it is a dotted eighth note.

If the time signature is 4/4, then a three beat note would be a dotted minim.
