doesn't \char<number> work?
Depends... fontforge tells me what I'm looking for is, e.g., character 803 in TeXGyreHeros-Regular, so I tried this:
\starttypescript[serif][greeksymbols][name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:TeXGyreHeros-Regular] [features=default] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[GreekSymbols] \definetypeface [GreekSymbols] [rm] [serif] [greeksymbols] [default] \stoptypescript
\usetypescript[GreekSymbols]
\define{\anglebracketleft}% {\bgroup\switchtobodyfont[GreekSymbols]\char803\egroup}
I tried several numbers, and get some symbols from TeXGyreHeros, but I haven't yet found out how luaTeX interprets the \char numbers... OTOH, this is a workaround:
It interprets the numbers in the same way as TeX.
\define{\anglebracketleft}% {\bgroup\switchtobodyfont[GreekSymbols]〈\egroup}
What you're looking for is "ANGLE BRACKET, RIGHT-POINTING".
but will obviously only work for symbols that are defined in Unicode, so nothing in the "private" Unicode area. My presentation next week doesn't use any of those, so I'm saved for today, but will be back in a few weeks when I need the other stuff as well...
The following should work. % engine=luatex \definecharacter anglebracketleft \char"2329 \definecharacter anglebracketright \char"232A \starttext text \anglebracketleft text\anglebracketright\ text \stoptext Wolfgang
