I tried typing the up arrow, but it fails with the error
"Non-character input-event". Is this intentional?

Indeed, subr-x.el looks like a more suitable place.
Another variant is create a new file for commands reading input
with a name like read-x.el (or maybe minibuffer-x.el or prompt-x.el).
Then put here `read-char-with-history', also all functions from
lisp/emacs-lisp/map-ynp.el and lisp/emacs-lisp/rmc.el,
maybe also read-char-choice from subr.el.
