\starttext text\textellipsis
text\unknown \stoptext
I prefer the second line (there a short discussion about this topic a long time ago).

Hi Wolfgang,
isn't this just a bug in lmodern? In any decent font, \textellipsis in fact gives exactly the output you get from \unknown here. There may be historical reasons why the glyph looks that way in cm and lm, but it certainly is unexpected compared to other fonts.
Or a bug in mkii: enco-utf.tex: Line 3055 : \def\textellipsis {…} % HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS enco-def.tex: \definecharacter textellipsis {\mathematics\cdots} try this: =============== % engine=luatex \starttext text\textellipsis text\unknown \stoptext =============== Another big difference. \textellipsis behaves differently in mkii and mkiv. Also, the lm ellipsis seems way too packed...
