these symbols without a staff it's fairly common to add a short line at the
appropriate place on the glyph so the type of rest can easily be
determined. I can't think of any straightforward way to do this in LilyPond
though.

Hello,

According to NR A.8 The Emmentaler font, you can use

\markup \musicglyph "rests.0o"
\markup \musicglyph "rests.1o"

Kind regards,
Xavier
