Yes, it is!

For example, that's what I have in my .emacs file [1] to get a black
right-pointing pointer (if supported by the current font, as it is
a UTF8 character):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  ;; Improve display of the ellipsis.
  (set-face-attribute 'org-ellipsis nil
                      :box '(:line-width 1 :color "#999999")
                      :foreground "#999999" :background "#FFF8C0"
                      :underline nil)

  ;; Ellipsis to use in the Org mode outline.
  (setq org-ellipsis
        (if (char-displayable-p ?\u25BA)
            " \u25BA"                   ; Black right-pointing pointer.
          'org-ellipsis)))              ; Face.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
