[MAPSERVER-USERS] Direction on road using ARROW Image

[Ila]

Finally I got the solution. I have created an arrow(->) on roads properly. I
wont be able to fine CHARACTER  CODE of(->) in required FONT SET. But now i
got it. For reference I m giving you the solution if anybody requires it:
I have modified the symbol definition:
SYMBOL
        NAME "arrow"
        TYPE TRUETYPE
    FONT arial
        FILLED true
        ANTIALIAS true
        CHARACTER '→'
        GAP -50
END

Ans in layer definition:
 LAYER
 
  NAME "major road"
  CONNECTIONTYPE db
  CONNECTION "usename/password"
  DATA "GEOM FROM road "
  CLASSITEM "ONEWAY"
  LABELITEM "STREETNAME"
  TYPE Line
  STATUS ON

  CLASS
    NAME "MAJOR-ROADS"
    MAXSCALE 260000
    MINSCALE 0
    EXPRESSION ([ONEWAY] = 1)
   
    style
     SYMBOL "arrow"
     SIZE 10  
     COLOR 82 82 82
    ANTIALIAS true
    end
  END
 END # Layer

Now this will work fine. Thank you for everyone's guidance & suggestions.
