I get the same result as Dan: no problem. Try:
(global-set-key [(shift up)] (lambda () (interactive) (insert  ?¶ )))
(global-set-key [(shift down)] (lambda () (interactive)  (insert  ?® )))

The reason shift left is translated to bare left arrow is that there is

(global-set-key [(shift up)]  )))
(global-set-key [(shift down)]  )))
