One way to differentiate plain intervocalic eng from eng before g (I'm
not sure what Lance means by this symbol) is to write ng for the first
and ngg for the second. Of course the second looks a bit odd, but in
fact (most) English speakers are generally quite happy to acknowledge
the difference between ng (eng) in singer and ngg (eng+g) in finger. It
is not true that orthographies have to use nonstandard symbols and
consequently not be emailable etc.
