Hi,
another weird thing:
In this example I use  \startexceptions to set hyphenation exceptions:
```
\mainlanguage[en]
\startexceptions[en]
appli-cable
obli-gated
\stopexceptions
\setuplayout[width=1cm]
\starttext
\currentmainlanguage
\currentlanguage
\hyphenatedword{applicable}
applicable
\hyphenatedword{obligated}
obligated
\stoptext
```
What am I missing?
Best,
Denis
When I edit this example with Vim, I see, in part:
\startexceptions[en]
    appli-ca<200b>ble
    obli-gated
    \stopexceptions
\startexceptions[de]
    appli-ca<200b>ble
    obli-gated
    \stopexceptions
\startexceptions[it]
    appli-ca<200b>ble
    obli-gated
    \stopexceptions
So it seems that the answer remains the same from when Denis posted a 
similar question a few months ago.
indeed, i just wasted an hour figuring out that there is some non letter 
in there; so there will never be a match (exception words get simplified 
to a key that is used in the lookup .. a \zwj or \zwnj can be used if 
needed but in the meantime there is a more sophisticated mechanism
