Unfortunately the closest I can find is \ll which is <<
or ifsym which suppoorts \textifsym{<D<} which gives
a space between them like this  (and ifsym is heavy-weight for this)

>>>     ___
>>>    /     /
>>>   /     /
>>>   \     \
>>>    \__   \

Somehow I need to stack the top _, the bottom _ and the << on each 
other, however I am not sure what symbols to use for _ (top/bottom 
respectively).
