Hmm, it's more serious than that I'm afraid (utf-8 text follows):
=========== % engine=luatex
\starttext
\defineactivecharacter Ṣ {\d S} \defineactivecharacter ḻ {\~l} \defineactivecharacter ḻ {\normalhbox{\~l}}
Ṣādiq a\~l Aḻ\footnote{Ṣādiq a\~l Aḻ}
\stoptext ===========
The \~l does not work in the footnote in luatex. Is there a workaround?
