(A bug: \defineactivecharacter ḻ {\~l} does not work if \showboxes is
invoked; weird)
use \normalhbox cum suis when you want to use showboxes (which overloads
the primitive box operations)
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?
can you send a zipped file
