Try:

\setupfootnotes[ textstyle={\hskip.05em}, ]

It's better to add the space with the textcommand key.

\setupnote[footnote][textcommand={\hairspace\high}]

Thanks! I was trying \hskip on \setupnotation[footnote] before as I though this command is preferred in MkIV. My fault.

The \setupnotation command replaced the old \setupnotedefintion command and a few setting like counter related values moved from \setupnote to \setupnotation but the layout of the numbers in the text body is still controlled by \setupnote.

When I saw 'hairspace' I was afraid the footnote mark can wrap to the next line, but after some tests it seems to be a false assumption.

Yes, \hairspace is a unbreakable space and will kep the number together with the last word. Wolfgang
