I think this works, I did try it, with M-x org-toggle-pretty-entities. (Re: 5th and 6th argument: Is "||" a good ASCII/Latin1 representation?) 

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
("parallel" "\\parallel" t "&parallel;" "||" "||" "∥")
#+END_SRC

I also tried to add something like

#+BEGIN_SRC 
("|" "\\\|" t "&parallel;" "||" "||" "∥")
#+END_SRC

with "\\\|" or "\\|", but it wasn't working for me. I didn't see any non-alphabetical entities ("name") in the variable org-entities-user, so I was guessing it wouldn't work with a one-line edit. 

Is the patch okay? I simply used C-x s d (C-g C-x b *Diff* RET).
