Tucano -
Here is a way using \markup. Is the arrow OK?
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.4.6"
\paper { raggedright = ##t }
pOn = \override TextScript #'font-name = #"msam10"
pOff = \revert TextScript #'font-name
up = \markup { \hspace #-0.35 \char #24 \hspace #-2 \char #22 }
dp = \markup { \hspace #-0.35 \char #25 \hspace #-2 \char #23 }
{\relative c'' { \pOn c_\up d^\up e_\dp f^\dp \pOff
c1_\markup { " A B C D " } } }
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

If Han-Wen's suggestion doesn't do what you want, send a graphic. I'd like
to see if PostScript code will do it.

Hi,
I could add this as a sponsored feature. However, I suspect you can
already typeset this, you just have to find the Unicode entry for
arrow-up, and use that , eg.
arrowUp = #(ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x2347)
c4^\arrowUp
where 2347 is the codepoint for arrow up.
