I don't think there's any such rule. I've used «lu li'u», (to toi) and
—sei [ se'u]—,

Those symbols are purely decorative, they don't change anything in the
text, so the typographer is free to place them wherever they find them
more pleasing.

A different issue are symbols like 1, 2, 3 that stand for words, or if
you were to use « as replacement for lu rather than in addition to it.
In that case the reader needs to know how to pronounce the symbol,
which now is part of the text, and its location obviously has to be
where the spelled out word would have been.
