Yes, \unknown are three periods which are separated by a small space
and … is one character. Sometimes \unknown can give a better look and
it can be necessary when you use a Type1 font which lacks …

  Hi,
  
  I looked into the \dots macro: I can see how it works in math mode,
  but in text mode it puts a thin space (\,) after the dots.  So what
  is the right way to type, say, this sentence:
  
  I like ConTeXt... but the learning curve is steep!
  
  A. I like \CONTEXT\dots but the learning curve is steep!
  
  or
  
  B. I like \CONTEXT\dots\ but the learning curve is steep!
  
  ?
 
 “\CONTEXT\unknown” or “\CONTEXT …”

Thanks!

 What about this?
 
 I like \CONTEXT{\dots} but the learning curve is steep!

This I consider equivalent to \dots\  (at least in this, well,
context;)).
