It can be both. You just have to look in a dictionary, making sure that you have identified the sense in which it is being used.

Are you talking about the graphic symbol, or the personal attribute, or the person in a drama or novel? Please also explain what research you've already done. For further guidance, see How to Ask and take the EL&U Tour. :-)

It's far more reasonable to talk about count(able) or non-count usages.
