Hello and thanks for answering!
Look at the attached png.
I would like to replace the '>' on the line with the little red arrow
symbol at the top.
'Riktning' means direction. That is if the flow of the creek has the
same direction as the 'flow' of the line, or not.
Mapfile:

Don't use the geotransform labelpnt, in fact don't label it:
symbol
name "arrow-north"
type truetype
font arrows
character ""
filled true
end
LABEL
...
CLASS
STYLE
COLOR "#444488"
SIZE 8
END
END
CLASS
STYLE
SYMBOL "arrow-north"
GAP -60
ANGLE -90
COLOR "#555555"
SIZE 8
END
END
END
