Not sure what you mean: what does customize have to do with this?
What this says, is that if you start with a + bullet, the next
level down will be a - bullet; if you start with a - bullet, the
next level down will be a + bullet; if you start with a * bullet, the
next level down will be a + bullet.

AFAIK, these are taken in LR order, so it will never see the last pair.
And the specification of the unicode character is wrong.
Try

 (setq org-list-demote-modify-bullet
 '(("-" . "→") ("→" . "↑") ("↑" . "↓")))


(I used insert-char interactively

   C-x 8 RET right arrow RET

to get the right arrow and similarly for the up arrow and the down
arrow).

At least that's what I thought, but it doesn't work as I expected: I get
the right arrow as the bullet in the second level, but if I try M-RET, I
get a - bullet at first level again and I cannot indent it past second
level. I'm probably misunderstanding something.
