The symbols in the file symb-imp-mis.mkiv are loaded by default because context uses them for the itemise environment but a few of them have to be enabled before you can use them and even then you need a font which contains them, e.g. DejaVu. %%%% begin example \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \setupsymbolset[text] \starttext \starttabulate[|l|c|] \NC \bf Name \NC \bf Symbol \NC\NR \TB \NC bullet \NC \symbol [bullet] \NC\NR \NC dash \NC \symbol [dash] \NC\NR \NC star \NC \symbol [star] \NC\NR \NC triangle \NC \symbol [triangle] \NC\NR \NC circle \NC \symbol [circle] \NC\NR \NC square \NC \symbol [square] \NC\NR \NC diamond \NC \symbol [diamond] \NC\NR \TB \NC blacktriangle \NC \symbol [blacktriangle] \NC\NR \NC blacksquare \NC \symbol [blacksquare] \NC\NR \NC blackdiamond \NC \symbol [blackdiamond] \NC\NR \TB \NC 1 \NC \symbol [1] \NC\NR \NC 2 \NC \symbol [2] \NC\NR \NC 3 \NC \symbol [3] \NC\NR \NC 4 \NC \symbol [4] \NC\NR \NC 5 \NC \symbol [5] \NC\NR \NC 6 \NC \symbol [6] \NC\NR \NC 7 \NC \symbol [7] \NC\NR \NC 8 \NC \symbol [8] \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext %%%% end example When you need characters like the mentioned losenge you should better look for a font which contains it and create a new typeface for it or set a fallback font which add the characters to the main font of your document.
