\clipbox the black symbol and superimpose over the red. In works for 10-12pt documents as well as in the smaller text sizes.

SUPPLEMENT

For those, like the astute Sebastiano, who note that, at various magnifications, a red shadow can appear at the edge of the black double-bend, one can take the extra step of first blotting out the red double-bend with a \rule, and then overlaying the black double-bend:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{manfnt,stackengine,trimclip}
\newcommand\textdbendrb{\setbox0=\hbox{%
  \rotatebox[origin=lb]{-12}{\rule{0.70ex}{0ex}%
  \clipbox{1.17ex 1.98ex 1.35ex 1.18ex}{%
  \rotatebox[origin=lb]{12}{\textdbend}}}}%
  \stackengine{2.03ex}{%
    \stackengine{1.5ex}{\color{red}\textdbend}{\rotatebox[origin=c]{45}{%
      \color{white}\rule{2.1ex}{2.1ex}}}{O}{c}{F}{T}{L}%
  }{\copy0}{O}{l}{F}{F}{L}%
}
\begin{document}
\textdbend \textdbendrb

\tiny\textdbend \textdbendrb
\end{document}

As I noted to the OP, if you change in this MWE the \color{white} declaration to, for example, \color{yellow}, you can visually see the area that I first blot out of the red sign, before overlaying the black double-bend.
