the symbol start-repeat,

which prints a |: bar line,

the symbol end-repeat,

which prints a :| bar line,

the list (volta text),

which prints a volta bracket saying text: The text can be specified as a text string or as a markup text, see Text markup. Do not forget to change the font, as the default number font does not contain alphabetic characters. Or,

the list (volta #f), which

         \property Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
      c4 c4
