x mark symbol and general symbol guide
Hi, I recently tried to typeset a table with checkmarks and x marks. \checkmark exists but is there a predefined x mark symbol (\xmark does not work)? In general: For LaTeX there exists the very helpful comprehensive LaTeX symbol list [1]. Is there a similar documentation for ConTeXt somewhere?

Just as an info. I'm using Noto symbols now: ``` \definefont[symbolFont][name:notosanssymbols2regular*default at 11pt] \define{\yes}{{\symbolFont\utfchar{0x1f5f8}}} \define{\no}{{\symbolFont\utfchar{0x1f5f4}}} \starttext \yes and \no. \stoptext ```

\starttext \yes and \no. \stoptext fwiw: 1F5F8 looks pretty bad (in otf) (i checked as i though it was a bug in lmtx)

Hmm, you are right, like a little frayed. 02713 and 02714 are similar. I guess, this should look like they were drawn with a brush. Gerion
