Well, I then suggest to be consequent, using the following Unicode
characters instead of ♯♯ and ♭♭:

  U+1D12A   MUSICAL SYMBOL DOUBLE SHARP
  U+1D12B   MUSICAL SYMBOL DOUBLE FLAT

BTW, arrowed accidentals are available also:

  U+1D12C   MUSICAL SYMBOL FLAT UP
  U+1D12D   MUSICAL SYMBOL FLAT DOWN
  U+1D12E   MUSICAL SYMBOL NATURAL UP
  U+1D12F   MUSICAL SYMBOL NATURAL DOWN
  U+1D130   MUSICAL SYMBOL SHARP UP
  U+1D131   MUSICAL SYMBOL SHARP DOWN
