It seems to me that this is exactly the accidentals.flat.slash character in 
Lilypond's feta font:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/The-Feta-font

In this case, you don't have to draw the glyph yourself, just use this glyph 
instead of accidentals.mirroredflat for a quarter-flat tone!

Cheers,
Reinhold
