That depends entirely on how you plan to generate them. If you are
relying on a special command in your editor of choice, yes, the ASCII
equiv is fewer keystrokes. If, however, you remap your keyboard (easily
doable in X and Win32, I'd assume Macs can as well), then the common
Unicode characters are an AltGr away. Thus, � one shifted keystroke
(AltGr-[), << is two shifted keystrokes (Shift-, Shift-,).
