Best way to input UTF-8
Hi all, What is the best way to input UTF-8 in LuaMetaTex? If I use the UTF-8 characters then do not come out in text with Modern font. -- Respect, Shiv Shankar Dayal

What is the best way to input UTF-8 in LuaMetaTex?
“Best” is subjective. What might be a good way for me might not be your preferred way. LuaMetaTex doesn't care at all *how* you input the characters into your text editor. The characters end up in the tex file and that's what's processed by context. \starttext Ωµ±åö←§… \stoptext Methods: - custom keyboard layout (my preferred way) - compose key - symbol input tables (provided by your OS) - copy-pasting symbols from somewhere else - …

You need to select a font containing the characters you need. Or set up a fallback for a certain range: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/definefallbackfamily Marco
I recommend you to always show missing font markers in PDF documents with
\replacemissingcharacters

Or let context throw an error in case a font/char is missing: %% alternative: %% context --errors='*' <file> \enabledirectives [logs.errors=*] %% missing font \definefontfamily [foo] [serif] [no font here really] \setupbodyfont [foo] \starttext %% missing characters 𝒜 \stoptext Marco
