I don't believe so. I think there's lots of room for improvement over the current capabilities for Symbol -- it was originally designed, I think, to be useful for record labels, so it didn't need any ability to decompose.
In the meantime, you could probably get what you need by using a list of one-character symbols and treating the list as a string. Use a quasiquoter to make the surface syntax palatable. You may also want lots of type-level manipulation functions as provided by the singletons library, which includes almost all of Data.List at the type level in its Data.Promotion.Prelude.List module.

Hi Café,
Is it possible to do this? I looked through the source for GHC.TypeLits on hackage but found no leads.
Thanks for any help,
