\diameter produces a diameter symbol. What is the equivalent in ConTeXt?
⌀ or \varnothing
Really varnothing is not the same as diameter (see the reference of LaTeX I posted before)
Have a look at char-def.lua for a list of context names for various glyphs. It might make sense to enable the fonts.missing tracker. Then ConTeXt warns you that a particular glyph is not available.
\enabletrackers [fonts.missing]
Is there any compilation of symbols avaliable in ConTeXt?
Not that I'm aware of. In ConTeXt you have easy access to all characters of any font¹. Either input the character directly if it's present in the current font or you can create a symbol:
\definefontsynonym [minion] [name:minionproregular]
\definesymbol [leaf] [\getnamedglyphdirect {minion} {bullet.010}]
\starttext Foo \symbol[leaf] Bar \stoptext

How can I define symbol with unicode equivalent? \diameter really is U+2300 I think. Thanks, Xan.
