There is no recommended way. One can have it in the input sources. The quickest way to both design and use I have found is text substitutions [1]. For the mathematical styles, TeX and Unicode do it differently, and ConTeXt follows the former unless one uses a command, see [2]. 1. https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2020/099278.html 2. https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2020/099880.html ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
