But this can be done.
First get the Utilities`Notation` package.
In[1]:=
<<Utilities`Notation`
Then depress Symbolize[] on the displayed Notation Palette. Now
(Symbolize[]) should be in a cell in your notebook. Click on the dark
square (properly none as \[SelectionPlaceholder]) inside the brackets
of Symbolize[]. Now type x (CTRL,&) \[DoubleDot]
Evaluate this cell and (x double dot) should be a symbol.
Note:
By (CTRL,&)I mean to depress "CTRL" and "&" at the same time. (See the
Mathematica Book, section 3.10.2, page 909.)
You should end up with the cell represented by the code below.
(******* CODE **************)
\!\(\*
RowBox[{"Symbolize", "[",
TagBox[\(x\&\[DoubleDot]\),
NotationBoxTag,
Editable->True], "]"}]\)

This may not be possible without using a String for "0a".
