Hi, most of these issues already have been discussed last year¹, but they don't seem to be solved, yet.
1) \unit{10^3} does display as 10✕10³. This is confusing and wrong.
2) Expressions like \unit{e3} result in ✕10³ instead of 10³. The
multiplication sign should be dropped in this case.
3) The minus sign: \unit{e-3} It's too long. In math mode the
correct character is used, but the spacing is messed up.
4) AFAIK there's not yet an interface to change the multiplication
sign.
\def\digitstimessymbol
{\kern.2\emwidth\cdot\kern.2\emwidth}
Full example:
\starttext
\unit{10^3 second} \crlf %% ⇒ 10✕10³ s
\unit{10^{-3} second} \crlf %% wrong — sign, too long
\math{\unit{10^{-3} second}} \crlf %% wrong spacing
\unit{e3 second} \crlf %% ⇒ ✕10³ s
\stoptext
