Hans, Mikael, thanks for your suggestions, all of them valuable.
Borrowing the symbol from Xits is a fine solution.
The comparison tables come in very handy, too.

Thanks again,
Nicola

I also have a couple of questions about \showmathfontcharacters:

1) does that list show all and only the symbols available in the
current font, or a predefined list of symbols?

2) The list shows a Unicode point for each symbol, but not the
corresponding TeX command (if it exists). Say I need U+02B31
(three leftwards arrows), and I don't want to bother searching
TCSL above.  May I use the Unicode code point to define a control
sequence in ConTeXt that prints the symbol? If so, how?

[NTG-context] Diamond, and Unicode math symbols

2016-03-10 Thread Nicola 

I'm looking for a symbol similar to \lozenge, but squarer (like
\Diamond in some LaTeX packages, see The Comprehensive Symbol List,
p. 112). Any idea how I may typeset it in ConTeXt (MKIV)? \diamond
is too small. I am using TeX Gyre Pagella Math if that matters.

I also have a couple of questions about \showmathfontcharacters:

1) does that list show all and only the symbols available in the
current font, or a predefined list of symbols?

2) The list shows a Unicode point for each symbol, but not the
corresponding TeX command (if it exists). Say I need U+02B31
(three leftwards arrows), and I don't want to bother searching
TCSL above.  May I use the Unicode code point to define a control
sequence in ConTeXt that prints the symbol? If so, how?
