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 :)
