\def\crosssign{\utfchar{"271D}}
You need only a font the symbol, if you have one there are different
ways to use it.
The simple solution:
\definefont[unicode][name:unicodesymbols*default]
\def\crosssign{\utfchar{"271D}}
\starttext
text {\unicode\crosssign} text
\stoptext
You can also include the font in the defintion of \crosssign.
The advanced solution:
\def\crosssign{\utfchar{"271D}}
\definefontsynonym[UnicodeSymbols][name:unicodesymbols*default]
\definefontfallback[symbols][UnicodeSymbols][dingbats]
\starttypescript [serif] [mine]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [TeXGyrePagella-Regular]
[fallbacks=symbols]
\stoptypescript
\definetypeface [mine] [rm] [serif] [mine] [default]
\setupbodyfont[mine]
\starttext
text \crosssign\ text
\stoptext
You need a few more lines for the setup because you need
a new typescript.

Thank you for the very quick answer. I read Mr. Lindsay's instruction.
It worked, and quite easily. I also tried to just use the character in
mkiv. That didn't work. However, in mkii, I tried the following:
\usesymbols[uzd]
\definecharacter crosssign{\uchar{39}{29}}
\starttext
Here is the \crosssign\ in a sentence.
\stoptext
That worked too, and seems easier.
I would like to figure it out it mkiv as well. I type the character in
VIM, but it showed up as a space in the PDF.

This is one of the famous Zapf dingbats, available in dedicated fonts; you don't really need Unicode fonts in order to typeset it. Try the instructions by Adam Lindsay (http://web.archive.org/web/20061130021250/homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/ZapfDingbats.pdf) An alternative with Mark IV: just find a font that contains that character. You can look for it with BabelPad on Windows / UnicodeChecker on Mac OS / gucharmap on Linux. Then, just use the font with the \definefont command.

Unicode values [1], in the example above all characters with a code between 0x0060 (grave accent) till 0x0070 (latin small letter p) are taken from the current font for the slanted style.
