    "like a question mark"

    a 180 degree rotated question mark

    Well, for a rotated question mark character, there's a Unicode character for that, as mentioned by yeti.

    For any other character, image, or any content, there's a CSS solution.

    e.g. 180 degree rotated "A", by rotating the content container element
    itself. Note: the element must be block-based. It can not be inline.

    <span style="display:inline-block; transform:rotate(180deg)">A</span>

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Values/transform-function/rotate

    If the content is not perfectly centered in the element boundary, the rotate transformation origin should be adjusted. Otherwise, the rorated content position won't be the same as the original unrotated one.

    How can I define the degree of rotation and to what direction ?

    Yes, this was already answered!

    Letter "A", rotated 180 degrees:

    <span style="display:inline-block; transform:rotate(180deg)">A</span>
