"#:" is the obvious choice for the uninterned representation. It already works for printing, but is not understood by the reader.
Is it? If you mean just a "#:" on its own it looks a bit odd to me, but as usual I'm coming from CL.
CommonLisp has a |....| syntax for interned symbols which trivially allows empty symbols,
That's not just for interned symbols. #:|| is read as an uninterned empty-string named symbol in common lisp, #:|hello world| as an uninterned symbol with a space in the name etc.
