I think the original question was for notation of false fingerings not
harmonics.
Referring to my Michael Brecker transcription book (published by Hal
Leonard), false fingerings are a + sign in that book.
An o is used for overtones
An s enclosed in a circle is for a split tone altissimo note
And a circle with a slanted line through it (a 1/2 dim symbol) is used
to notate a cracked note.

I have this on good authority...
While there is no convenient alternate fingering like the 4th line C
has applicable to the upper G, there is another method.
Finger a low (middle) C, and the G a 12th higher is an easy-to-play
(for a pro) harmonic. It would be notated as a middle C with the G
added a 12 higher, and an X over the note. This notation seems a bit
wonky to me, as I would have expected diamond heads or a circle
instead, but apparently this is common notation.
I don't know whether you are going to get the same effect using this
method. Maybe alternating the two altos (G-E-G-E against E-G-E-G)
would be a truer representation of what Lester actually did (is this
Lester Leaps In? I heard it today in a jury examination, so it's fresh
in my brain.)
