The way to try is, of course, writing
\version "2.10.0"
\markup { \fermataMarkup }
and run convert-ly -d on it. No change.

You could have looked in the notation manual appendices under markups.
There is
File: lilypond-notation.info, Node: Music, Next: Instrument Specific Markup,
Prev: Graphic, Up: Text markup commands
[...]
‘\fermata’
Create a fermata glyph. When DIRECTION is ‘DOWN’, use an inverted
glyph. Note that within music, one would usually use the
‘\fermata’ articulation instead of a markup.
{ c''1^\markup \fermata d''1_\markup \fermata }
\markup { \fermata \override #`(direction . ,DOWN) \fermata }
[image src="lilypond/d2/lily-b002d4aa.png" alt="[image of music]"
text="image of music"]
Used properties:
• ‘direction’ (1)
And there is little problem with
{ R1^\markup \center-column { "9-10\"" \fermata } }
or similar.
