Well, this works: $≡$
(This is not to say that the character ≡ alone should not work, but it
may be that it is simply missing in the text font and no mechanism is
there that would switch to math mode.)


indeed. of course one could use the math font as base font as well, but 
that would complicate matters a bit as we use a virtual font (so instead 
of the default set one would need to specify multiple featuresets, which 
actually is supported)


another solution is do define fallbacks but I have no time right now to 
do that (it would slow down loading a bit); some time in the future we 
will have the option in luatex to add missing glyphs to a font using a 
'missign glyph' callback but this is quite tricky as there is state to 
be kept)


making all math characters active and resolve to math could be a 
solution too but this is not always wanted either (so we should need 
exceptions etc etc then)

The character ≡ in text can be find in some CJK fonts. For example:

\definefont[song][name:adobesongstdlight]

\starttext
\song
(≡) should be ($\equiv$)
\stoptext

Re: [NTG-context] Unicode error in embedded metapost

 Metapost can only handle very basic strings. Don't use Metapost for
 writing text.

 Indeed. Using \sometxt{...} is strongly recommended. btex ... etex
 behaves strange and consumes a considerable amount of extra time to
 compile your document.

Interesting. I also wasn't aware that btex ... etex could not handle 
string variables, as I learned from your documentation (I've just 
started learning metapost).

Thanks,
Maurício
