Not sure what this is...

If you force the direction of the marcato mark downwards, it points 
down; usually you put c-^, but try c_^ to get thick downwards V.

Or, if you want a thick downwards V above the note, you could try

martellato = \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.dmarcato" }

c^\martellato

otherwise if it goes above the note, as in c^^, it points upwards.
