   I don't know about any program, but the library libcaca can do it, there   
   are functions like caca_rotate_180(). It chooses replacement characters   
   that look (kinda) similar to a mirrored/rotated version of the original.   
      
   It works pretty well for things like boxes and flowcharts, but mixed   
   results for everything else :)
