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. What
chart do you use?
