Hello!
With threading turned on, the summary buffer indicates children in a
hidden thread by appending "..." to the end of the summary line. Is
there a way to change this string? I would like to use an utf-8
ellipsis "…" instead.
Regards,

You can do that with display tables. Current buffer's display table is
in variable "buffer-display-table". It has a slot that controls how
invisible text is displayed. Perhaps this is does what you want:
(add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode 'my-gnus-summary-mode-hook)
(defun my-gnus-summary-mode-hook ()
(set-display-table-slot buffer-display-table 'selective-display [?…]))
You see, there is a vector [?…] which sets the character(s). Three Ascii
dots would be [?. ?. ?.]. See info node "(elisp) Display Tables".

And to turn it on/off everywhere (e.g. outline, org) refer to the
"standard-display-table" variable:
(set-display-table-slot standard-display-table 'selective-display [?…])
(set-display-table-slot standard-display-table 'selective-display nil)

This works like a charm, thank you! For future reference, it should be
(add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook 'my-gnus-summary-mode-hook)
^^^^^
I believe.
