IntelliJ idea - any way to change visual line wrapping icon?

I really like Intellij's line wrapping feature with icons marking line wraps. Hovewer the default wrapping icon's readability is far from ideal.. is there any way I could fix this little problem?

To clarify what CrazyCoder said:

On a Mac, you'll need to go into finder and "show package contents" on the Intellij IDEA.app, then you can add lines to the idea.properties file in the "bin" folder. Here's the arrow codes I went with:

idea.editor.wrap.soft.before.code=219e
idea.editor.wrap.soft.after.code=21a0

Don't forget, you can also change their color in the program's preferences under "editor > colors and fonts > general > soft wrap sign".

Current solution is to use standard unicode symbols from supplementary arrows set: 2925 and 2926.

You can modify that by specifying other unicode (hex) codes via idea.editor.wrap.soft.before.code and idea.editor.wrap.soft.after.code properties in idea.properties file. Note that it's necessary to define both symbols, e.g. add to the idea.properties something like below:

idea.editor.wrap.soft.before.code=2906
idea.editor.wrap.soft.after.code=2907

Note that not all the fonts contain all the Unicode characters, so you have to choose the proper font in Settings | Editor | Colors & Fonts and specify the symbol code that exists in the font that you are using.
