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

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. -Erich
