Avoid C, its reserved.
Use more advanced procedures like Outer and Array with Sort.
Outer[Sort[{#1,#2}]&, #, #]&[Range[6]]
gives you the Matrix of a list of sorted pairs of indices from Range
which is of course symmetric.
(Outer[ ( Subscript[k, Sequence @@ Sort[{#1, #2}]] &), #, #] &)[
Range[6]]
You can use this method directly in array contructions
A = Array[Subscript[k, Sequence @@ Sort[{#1, #2}]] &, {6, 6}]
If you have already an array A of expressions, you can symmetrize it later
B=1/2 (A+Transpose[A])
For compactness and shielding from simplifikations I prefer number
strings as indizes
Array[Superscript[k,
StringJoin @@ ToString /@ Sort[{#1, #2}]] &, {6, 6}]
