In a program I'm writing I have a function for escaping characters which are reserved or problematic in LaTeX. I would like to have a corresponding function for ConTeXt, so I'm wondering which ones are different/superfluous/missing from a ConTeXt perspective in the following list (sorry about the formatting!):

    '{': "\\{"

\letterleftbrace

    '}': "\\}"

\letterrightbrace

    '_': "\\_"

No escape needed.

    '%': "\\%"

\letterpercent

    '#': "\\#"

\letterhash

    '$': "\\$"

\letterdollar

    '&': "\\&"

No escape needed.

    '`': "\\textasciigrave{}"

\textgrave

    '^': "\\textasciicircum{}"

\letterhat

    '~': "\\textasciitilde{}"

\lettertilde

    '\\': "\\textbackslash{}"

\letterbackslash

    '|': "\\textbar{}"

\letterbar

    '<': "\\textless{}"     '>': "\\textgreater{}"     '[': '{[}'     ']': '{]}'

No escape needed.

Note that I'm not looking for accented letters, Unicode quotes and dashes etc. I'm assuming that people in the year 2021 are using an UTF-8-aware engine (and my corresponding HTML escape function similarly caters only to & < > " ').

Another option is to use \utfchar, e.g. \utfchar{0x60} Wolfgang
