In the past I have used defs like \def\reg{\char174} Is there a more universal way to get these symbols?

rover:base wolf$ grep contextname char-def.lua contextname="quotedbl", contextname="textdollar", contextname="percent", contextname="quotesingle", contextname="textslash", contextname="textbackslash", contextname="textasciicircum", contextname="textunderscore", contextname="textgrave", contextname="idotaccent", contextname="textbraceleft", contextname="textbar", ...

The values of contextname are available as commands in ConTeXt.

wow - millions of definitions. Thanks a lot. best regards Bernhard

for my purpose, I made utf-8 text containing all unusual characters and I copy and paste them. It's the most convenient way, IMO.

example:

≈≐∿ №©®™ℎℏ°℃ ⌀ diameter      2300 ∅ empty set     2205 ⍉               2349 ¼½¾⅓⅔⅕⅖⅗⅘⅙⅚⅛⅜⅝⅞⅟ ₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉₊₋₌₍₎ ⁰¹²³⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹⁺⁻⁼⁽⁾         √(x² ˖ y²) √∛∜∢ nice idea It would be nice to collect the most used unicode char in a wiki page and also in a txt file to include in minimals just as convenience when typesetting in mkiv -- luigi
