I'm looking for a symbol similar to \lozenge, but squarer (like \Diamond in some LaTeX packages, see The Comprehensive Symbol List, p. 112). Any idea how I may typeset it in ConTeXt (MKIV)? \diamond is too small. I am using TeX Gyre Pagella Math if that matters.
I also have a couple of questions about \showmathfontcharacters:
1) does that list show all and only the symbols available in the current font, or a predefined list of symbols?
2) The list shows a Unicode point for each symbol, but not the corresponding TeX command (if it exists). Say I need U+02B31 (three leftwards arrows), and I don't want to bother searching TCSL above. May I use the Unicode code point to define a control sequence in ConTeXt that prints the symbol? If so, how?

I could not find a diamond on p. 112 in my version of the comprehensive symbol list, but maybe: \definefontfamily[myface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella] \definefallbackfamily[myface][mm][Xits][range={"025C7}] \definefontfamily[myface][mm][TeX Gyre Pagella Math] \setupbodyfont[myface] \starttext You could try $⋄\quad ⃟ $ from Pagella or $◇$ from Xits. \stoptext There is a nice document, unicode-symbols.pdf you can have a look in for a list of (unicode) math symbols. /Mikael
