For context I think this post is what sparked the present thread:

As noted in the replies there, I have managed to find them used in a score
(from 1998, like the proposal):

In further discussion on Bluesky, Jean wondered whether this was really 𝄲,
or a normal half-sharp* with a digit 4 sticking out.
It turns out that one can get a higher-resolution image of the score by
playing with URL parameters, and it is really 𝄲, with two vertical lines:
