Hi, Susanne. I think you're confusing ConTeXt symbol sets with LaTeX ones. Except for symb-imp-emj, which is for emoji support, files with symb-imp prefixes list symbol sets supported by ConTeXt (see /tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv): symb-imp-cc symb-imp-cow symb-imp-eur symb-imp-fontawesome symb-imp-jmn symb-imp-mis symb-imp-mvs symb-imp-nav symb-uni.mkii is not available for ConTeXt MkIV, but you could make it work with a proper font set (e.g. Quivira) or better, ask Hans for it. Wrt ifsym itself, it is a LaTeX specific package and it won't work out of the box, so you could 1) use a Unicode alternative instead or 2) adjust Metafont files so they could be compiled via Metapost. If you go for 2), the following would work as a poor's man solution for any symbol you need. \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{Flag} %From ifsym.gen draw (3pt,0pt)--(3pt,10pt); fill (3pt,10pt)--(0pt,8pt)--(3pt,6pt)--cycle; \stopuseMPgraphic This is a poor's man \type{ifsym's \Flag}: \useMPgraphic{Flag}. \stoptext There's a more advanced way to register glyphs explained in Luametafun ( http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/luametafun.pdf), in case you're interested.

Dear Reader,
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Symbols shows predefined symbol sets. The uni and wasysym are unknown.
Hereby my example:
\usesymbols[mvs]
\usesymbols[uni]
\usesymbols[wasysym]
%% \usesymbols[ifsym]
\starttext
\par Show entire set martinvogel 1
\showsymbolset[martinvogel 1]
\par Show YinYang symbol from martinvogel 2. \crlf
\symbol[martinvogel 2][YinYang]
%% \symbol[Alpine Symbol][Flag]
\stoptext
Console output
fonts > symbols > library 'mvs' loaded
fonts > symbols > library 'uni' is unknown
fonts > symbols > library 'wasysym' is unknown
The ultimate goal is to show a flag from the alpine symbol set from ifsym. However, I will settle with a flag from uni if it means I don't have to install files.
Kind regards,
Susanne
