This is a global definition. So, once this macro is used, symbol=bighand for
all itemize. What you can use instead is:
\define[1]\prompt{%
\startitemize[symbol=bighand]
{\it #1}
\stopitemize
}%
or even better:
\defineitemgroup[prompt][symbol=bighand,style=italic]
...
\startprompt
\item
\stopprompt

[NTG-context] What is the proper way to define many different list types in a document?
I have about several different types of list that reoccur multiple times in my
documents. Though I tried to keep things simple, by just defining the type when
it appears, strange glitches appear. For instance, I have one that uses the ☞
(pointing hand) logo, and sometimes that randomly appears in the wrong lists,
for reasons I cannot understand.
Below is how I'm defining my lists. I have about a dozen more, this is a
sample. Is there some more robust and consistent manner in which I should be
defining them, so the settings from one type don't spill over into the other
types?

%prompt
\definesymbol[bighand][{{☞}}]

\stopitemize

%word search clues (should be simple, but strangely this keeps getting the ☞
logo added instead of showing numbers)
\startitemize[n]
\item a type of hat worn
\item a cold season
\stopitemize
