I just asked the same question on an HP internal group.  I don't think
the answers qualify as confidential information :-)

Well, we've had pretty good results with the following macro:

    \def\CC{\hbox{C\hspace{-.05em}\raisebox{.4ex}{\tiny\bf ++}}}

We've been using it in all our LaTeX documents - just stick it in before
the \documentstyle command.  Don't forget to enter a trailing backslash
\CC\ if a space is supposed to follow it.

Someone with greater intestinal fortitude could make it
size-independent.  The macro looks yucky in the title of a document.
Perhaps there shoudl be two macros - \CC and \titleCC.

I like the following macro:

    \def\Cpp{C\raise.22ex\hbox{+}\raise.22ex\hbox{+}}

It works well with most font styles and sizes.

I haven't yet tried either.
