I think there's no IPA symbol because it's anatomically impossible.
Clicks are velaric ingressives, formed by stopping airflow at the place
of articulation and the velum, pulling the tongue root back to create a
vacuum between them, and then releasing the stop. You can't have a
velaric ingressive velar stop — there would be no "between".
