Hello,
 you should use this
 SYMBOL
    NAME 'test'
    TYPE TRUETYPE
    FONT 'webdings'
    CHARACTER ""
    FILLED true
      ANTIALIAS true
    GAP -25 # the negatation tells MapServer to honor the vector
direction
when computing the angle
  END
you need to get a webdings.ttf file in your fonts.txt

exemple of layer
LAYER
    NAME 'a line'
    TYPE LINE
    STATUS ON
    CLASS

      STYLE
            COLOR 0 0 0
            SYMBOL "circle"
            SIZE 1
      END

      STYLE
        SYMBOL 'test'
        COLOR 0 0 0

        SIZE 14
      END

    END
    FEATURE
      POINTS 10 10 50 100 100 300 300 300 10 490 END
    END
  END
this works with mapserver 4.0 & up
