Answer:

Yes, it is possible to create such a hexagon with pure CSS3. To achieve this, you can utilize the HTML character code for a hexagon, as follows:

⬢

This code represents the unicode character for a hexagon. Alternatively, you can use the following CSS code to render the hexagon:

.hex1::before {
  content: "\2B22";
  color: orange;
  font-size:135px;
}

.hex2::before {
  content: "\2B22";
  display:block;
  color: magenta;
  font-size:135px;
  -webkit-transform: rotate(-30deg);
  -moz-transform: rotate(-30deg);
  -o-transform: rotate(-30deg);
  transform: rotate(-30deg);
}

This code uses the generated content property to create the hexagon shape. By using the ::before pseudo-element, you can insert the hexagon character before the specified element. The content property sets the content of the pseudo-element to the hexagon unicode character. You can then customize the size, color, and rotation of the hexagon using the CSS properties provided.
