I'm sorry, i have no CHAR parameter.
I was just trying to use LABEL object, which have a dynamic angle.

If you have a column in your dbf with 'é' in it for each row, you can use
LAYER
     ...
    LABELITEM the_column
     LABELANGLEITEM arrow_angle
     LABEL
          TYPE TRUETYPE
          ...
          FONT windings
     END
END

that's the idea but
it's not really nice !!!

Try to use a label and the "labelangleitem" attribute of the layer
object.<br>
Use a font with an arrow as char (Windings for example).<br>
    <br>
LAYER<br>
     ...<br>
     LABELANGLEITEM arrow_angle<br>
     LABEL<br>
          TYPE TRUETYPE<br>
          ...<br>
          FONT windings<br>
          CHAR é<br>
     END<br>
END<br>
