You can specify that no plot character is drawn using pch = -1.
Maybe this is what you want:
plot(1:10,1:10)
legend(locator(1),c("blah","blahblah","blahblahblah","blah..."),
pch = c(-1,-1,22,22),lty=c(1,1,0,0),col=c("green","red","blue","blue"),
pt.bg=c("white","white","yellow","orange"))

At least for me the latter does not appear to be "that common" ...

Does the following do what you are looking for?
legend(..., c("y.", "y|"))
or
legend(..., expression(y[.], y["|"]))
