I want to highlight (using colour) comment lines that have particular enclosing marks, 
a MATHEMATICAL LEFT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET and a MATHEMATICAL RIGHT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET.

;; ⟪1⟫Something

where the ;; is double the comment character of the particular mode 
(; for lisp, % for latex, etc). Where there can be any number of spaces 
after the comment marks.

Did you try using highlight-regexp?
