If you're attaching the trill to a note, you can parenthesize it
without having to mess around with markup; all that's needed is an
adjustment to the font-size of the parentheses (since they default to
font-size = -6), then insert \parentheses between the note and the
trill (don't forget the hyphen):

\relative c' {
  \once \override ParenthesesItem #'font-size = #0
  c1-\parenthesize \trill
}
