I recently had the same problem.
I installwd fontforge and opened the fobtfile. There you can see the names of
the glyphs.
After that i succeded with following code.
\definefontsynonym [WebDing] [file:webdings.ttf]
\def\WebDingSymbol{\getnamedglyphdirect{WebDing}}
\startsymbolset [webding]
\definesymbol[surf][\WebDingSymbol{surf}]
\definesymbol[motorcycle][\WebDingSymbol{motorcycle}]
\definesymbol[mountain][\WebDingSymbol{mountain}]
\definesymbol[art][\WebDingSymbol{art}]
\definesymbol[occasion][\WebDingSymbol{occasion}]
\stopsymbolset
\starttext
\tfc
\symbol[webding][surf]
\symbol[webding][motorcycle]
\symbol[webding][mountain]
\symbol[webding][art]
\symbol[webding][occasion]
\stoptext
I should write a symb-imp-win.mkv
