I don't think this could be done directly in LyX or TeX/LaTeX.

AFAIK, you've got two options:
- do it in a virtual font, mirroring the desired character(s) using PostScript specials and inserting the call to use the font as Evil Red Text---you'd then need to make sure you used dvips when generating your output.

- find a font of such backwards characters and install it.
