Yep, see: http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html

If I follow you correctly, all you need is a markup command.
See:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/text-markup-commands.html

If one of the Feta glyph is needed, you can do (e.g.):
\markup {\musicglyph #"scripts.segno" }
See: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/the-feta-font

If you want a custom glyph, see:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/graphic
Ex.:

\version "2.19.82"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \omit Clef
    \omit TimeSignature
  }
}

{
  s2^\markup {
    \combine \draw-circle #.8 #.2 ##f
    \translate #'(-.75 . -.75)
    \override #'(thickness . 2)
    \draw-line #'(1.5 . 1.5)
  }
  s^\markup\concat\vcenter { \teeny\flat "7" }
  \bar ""
}

HTH, Cheers,
Pierre
