Hi Kip,
You may try characters with Unicode slots from U+2460 upto U+2469. They mean circled digits and are available in many fonts.
Thanks Ryszard. Those would be perfect, except I can't get them to work in ConTeXt. I tried using the \utfchar{0x2460} but it just displays the number 1.
I am assuming it needs a font that supports it, but I'm not sure how to switch to a supporting font just to typeset that character and then revert back. Is there some way to define a macro?
You could just define a fallback font, like:
\definefontfallback[SymbolFB] [file:symbola.otf] [0x00300-0x003FF,0x02100-0x02800,0x1F000-0x20000] % look up the right Unicode ranges! [check=no,force=no]
\definetypeface [myfonts] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [fallbacks=SymbolFB]
And then copy the character from a symbol table, no need for a macro.
Hmm, that's a great idea. But I can't seem to get a minimal to work with https://context-on-web.eu: \definefontfallback[SymbolFB] [file:symbola.otf] [0x00300-0x003FF,0x02100-0x02800,0x1F000-0x20000] % look up the right Unicode ranges! [check=no,force=no] \definetypeface [myfonts] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [fallbacks=SymbolFB] \starttext \utfchar{0x02460} \stoptext The above just prints the vanilla character '1'. That might be because the online editor doesn't have access to the font. So I tried compiling the above locally with the Symbola.otf file in the same directory and same problem. -- Kip Warner OpenPGP signed/encrypted mail preferred https://www.thevertigo.com
