I for example tried to generate the soft g, the g with the caron (inverted circumflex!) above it, using \gcaron, which just works fine. But I'm unable to generate a dotless i!

So what did you try? Here's 3 methods that work for me:

1. (best): write the character directly into your source file: ı

2. \dotlessi (see the list of characters in char-def.lua)

3. \i (compatibility, defined in enco-ini.mkiv)

Hi, Thanks for the answers! Only one suggestion doesn't work for me; inserting the ı (it looks like an HTML code not ConTeXt code!?) in my source file. Well, I prefer to use \dotlessi and \i, and don't like ı or \char"0131, because I'm not very good at remembering number codes! Regards, Gerard Verhaag

LuaTeX has total unicode representation in terms of content (are unicode characters possible for macro declarations? this is unclear at this point but clearly useful..) So, the last thing you need to do is abstract your special characters. Just input them according to how you would normally make them appear in a text field on your screen.

As Mojca already pointed out, I meant typing the character directly. I'm using a web mail interface which unfortunately replaces the character with this strange entity.
