It didn't work. Either with texexec or with context. Here is a simpler test case -------------------------------- start % basic test to change footnotes bullet to a symbol % basice test to change footnotes bullet to a symbol % \setupfootnotes[rule=off] % had no affect \defineconversion[fnsym]{ \dagger,*,**,***} % etc. \setupfootnotes[conversion=fnsym, numberconversion=fnsym] % Doesn't work \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=fnsym,alternative=text] % Doesn't work % conversion=set fnsym or conversion=fnsym does't work % numberconversion=fnsym or numberconversion=set fnsym doesn't work \starttext This is a footnote\footnote{a fnote}\\ And another for clarity\footnote{the 2nd footnote.} \stoptext ----------------end the above does not produce a dagger footnote bullet (only std numbers) It should be a simple thing to do, but I've tried a lot of combinations.. Any help would be appreciated.

From ConTeXt's Wiki Garden the below should work, but it isn't. How can this be accomlished. I want to use just \dagger for the symbol, but any symbol would do.
\definesymbol[4]{\dagger]
\starttext \defineconversion[dagger][{\dagger},{\dagger}] % use a \dagger for the footnote. \setupfootnotes[conversion=set dagger,location=text] This is the dagger, \dagger{} I want to use for reference\footnote{Will the dagger appear}.
A second line here for robustness.\footnote{It's a number still.} \stoptext
\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=dagger,alternative=text]
