Maybe show us how you actually do it? What version of org? What is
your intended result (just in case)?

I have

(setq org-ellipsis " ▸")

in my customisation and it works just fine.

Thanks, Eric. It helped to know that it works for someone.

Knowing that, I went into my .emacs file and did some testing.

It turns out that there is some conflict with pp-c-l. These lines:

(use-package pp-c-l)
(pretty-control-l-mode 1)

would mess up org-mode's use of org-ellipsis. I don't know why. But commenting out those two lines solves the problem for me.
