SUPPLEMENT
For those, like the astute Sebastiano, who note that, at various magnifications, a red shadow can appear at the edge of the black double-bend, one can take the extra
step of first blotting out the red double-bend with a \rule
, and then overlaying the black double-bend:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{manfnt,stackengine,trimclip}
\newcommand\textdbendrb{\setbox0=\hbox{%
\rotatebox[origin=lb]{-12}{\rule{0.70ex}{0ex}%
\clipbox{1.17ex 1.98ex 1.35ex 1.18ex}{%
\rotatebox[origin=lb]{12}{\textdbend}}}}%
\stackengine{2.03ex}{%
\stackengine{1.5ex}{\color{red}\textdbend}{\rotatebox[origin=c]{45}{%
\color{white}\rule{2.1ex}{2.1ex}}}{O}{c}{F}{T}{L}%
}{\copy0}{O}{l}{F}{F}{L}%
}
\begin{document}
\textdbend \textdbendrb
\tiny\textdbend \textdbendrb
\end{document}
As I noted to the OP, if you change in this MWE the \color{white}
declaration to, for example, \color{yellow}
, you can visually see the area that I first blot out of the red sign, before overlaying the black double-bend.
