The ª (U+00AA)and º (U+00BA) indicate grammatical gender of a number, as
in 1ª Edición. The ♀ (U+2640) and ♂ (U+2642) indicate either biological
gender (or the planets venus and mars).
The 'standard' ConTeXt for these four is:
\ordfeminine
\ordmasculine
\usesymbols[was]
\symbol[wasy general][female]
\symbol[wasy general][male]
But the minimals don't contain the wasysym font, so it makes sense
to add your two definitions to symb-mvs.tex, with the added benefit
that it is loaded automatically. And I think it would be nice to be
able to key in \female and \male directly, so:
\startsymbolset [gender]
\definesymbol[Male] [\MartinVogelSymbol{124}]
\definesymbol[Female][\MartinVogelSymbol{126}]
\stopsymbolset
\startencoding[default]
\definecharacter female {\symbol[gender][Female]}
\definecharacter male {\symbol[gender][Male]}
\stopencoding
Hans, is that ok?
Best wishes,
