Avoid C, its reserved.

Use more advanced procedures like Outer and  Array with Sort.

Outer[Sort[{#1,#2}]&, #, #]&[Range[6]]
gives you the Matrix of a list of sorted pairs of indices from Range 
which is of course symmetric.


(Outer[ ( Subscript[k, Sequence @@ Sort[{#1, #2}]] &), #, #] &)[
  Range[6]]


You can use this method directly in array contructions

A = Array[Subscript[k, Sequence @@ Sort[{#1, #2}]] &, {6, 6}]


If you have already an array A of expressions, you can symmetrize it later

B=1/2 (A+Transpose[A])

For compactness and shielding from simplifikations I prefer number 
strings as indizes

Array[Superscript[k,
         StringJoin @@ ToString /@ Sort[{#1, #2}]] &, {6, 6}]
