What if use the symbol '#' ?
Yep, I like this symbol for macro too.

OK. This symbol is already used in a wrong place :)

You can still use `:`. The colon is used even to refer to some
Lisp macros, for example:
(loop :for key :in keys
:collect (cons key 0))
Still, as an option, you can use the `'` . This symbol is also
used in Lisp, in some places, for example:
(key-weight 'sweet)
Or apostrophes, too, somewhere involved in the D?
As far as I know, the : and ' symbols in Lisp don't have anything
to do with macros. : is for keyword arguments and ' is for
creating AST literals. It makes sense that these would be heavily
used with macros, of course, but they are not part of Lisp's
macro system.
