Converted to an answer by popular request:

If you want such a notation, use $\Bbb B$; just explain the notation at the start. The notations $\Bbb Z_2$ or $\Bbb Z/2\Bbb Z$ might be regarded as referring to a set with those same two elements, but they have sort of a different flavor, referring to a field (in the abstract-algebra sense), not a Boolean algebra.

Stefan reminds us that in set theory one writes $2=\{0,1\}$. That notation is I think much less common outside set theory.
