Personally, I am all for this method for handling special unicode
points, but I remember Juergen disliked it.

However, I do not like at all the ugly code you output :) Fortunately,
the apple publication style guide favors using explicit name, without
any kind of ugly box.

I did not find the exact description of what to do, but examples like
the following seem clear to me:

  Two-word key names: When one of the key names in a combination
  keystroke is two words or a hyphenated word, use en dashes where you
  would ordinarily use hyphens.

         Option–Right Bracket
         Command–Option–Up Arrow
         Command–Option–double-click

Although the case of two-word key names is out of what we want to do, I
read this as meaning that the Command key should just be spelled like
that, without any nice/ugly box.
