Thanks - with all your help I can now do this. For the record: \starttext To insert the symbol for the planet Jupiter. using Martin Vogels Symbole font: \usesymbols[mvs] \setupsymbolset[astronomic] \symbol[Jupiter] using Roland Waldi Symbole font: \usesymbols[was] \setupsymbolset [wasy astronomy] \symbol[jupiter] \stoptext so I can get this bit finished...
The following example is not very ConTeXt-ish, but it should work (if you got the unicode glyph right):
\font\astro='name of your font with astro symbols or unicode font' \def\neptune{{\astro ♆}}
\starttext \neptune \stoptext
Thanks - these will need the font metrics file installed, though (I think). A project for the future... :-)
