Excellent! Now in MKIV how would I encode an opening quote mark American style? In previous TeX programs it was always ``. The MKIV substitute \quotation{foo} is not practical for my application, where the raw input code may use the ditto mark " for both opening and closing quotes. I am looking for something in MKIV equivalent to \char92 in plain TeX. On the unicode table I find the hex value 008013 but I don't know how to plug that in to a macro that redefines the first occurrence of " to be that character, and the second occurrence to be hex 000814 etc. I can write the macro, I just need the expression equivalent to \char that gives me such characters in MKIV.

Are you sure these are the correct values?

What’s wrong with \char?

\starttext

\char"201C TEXT\char"201D

\utfchar{"201C}TEXT\utfchar{"201D}

\fontchar{quotedblleft}TEXT\fontchar{quotedblright}

\stoptext

Well you answered my question. The chart I read for unicode characters gave the values I quoted. I guess I was reading the wrong chart.
