Would ## work for SystemStartSquare and || for SystemStartBar?
I think they're on most computer keyboards.
(I have no idea whether they'd need escaping, or would be ambiguous
in the locations you intend for them.)
The # wiki notes that British Telecom used the term "square" for hash
at one time. I guess this was before the British public had an
unambiguous name for it, "pound" being verboten, "number" rare, and
"hash" not quite proper in polite society.
