Hello, could you provide a MWE? ---- A file in UTF-8 \starttext % Let's use the default Ctx font % What to come here? \stoptext ---- Lukas On Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:46:55 +0200, Philipp A. wrote:

just copy some symbol from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterisk#Encodings

and be sure to use a font containing them.

alternatively define a command which temporarily switches to such a font in, displays the symbol, and switches back.

Hello,

how to typeset "centerd asterisk" ("*") in Ctx?

I mean the symbol which is used in the third level of itemization ( http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations) or which can be typeset by \textasteriskcentered in LaTeX.

(I cannot find the symbol definition in Ctx itemize-command definition (source files) and simple writing "\textasteriskcentered" doesn't work.)

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Lukas

Hello, thank you, that's great. One more question - how to use another symbol, "bigstar" (see "symbols-a4.pdf" or the attached image)? I tried the following code, but with no success: ---- \starttext Ttt \symbol[bigstar] Aaa \bigstar Bbb \symbol[mathabx][bigstar] \stoptext ---- Best regards, Lukas On Tue, 09 Jun 2015 11:02:05 +0200, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:

The symbols in different itemise levels can be shown with \symbol[1], \symbol[2] etc. but since these numbered symbols can be redefined it is better to use the named symbol to access the star with \symbol[star].

The following example shows a few of the predefined symbols.

\starttext

\starttabulate[|l|c|] \NC \bf Command \NC \bf Symbol \NC\NR \TB \NC \type{\symbol[1]} \NC \symbol[1] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[2]} \NC \symbol[2] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[3]} \NC \symbol[3] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[4]} \NC \symbol[4] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[5]} \NC \symbol[5] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[6]} \NC \symbol[6] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[7]} \NC \symbol[7] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[8]} \NC \symbol[8] \NC\NR \TB \NC \type{\symbol[bullet]} \NC \symbol[bullet] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[dash]} \NC \symbol[dash] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[star]} \NC \symbol[star] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[triangle]} \NC \symbol[triangle] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[circle]} \NC \symbol[circle] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[square]} \NC \symbol[square] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[diamond]} \NC \symbol[diamond] \NC\NR \TB \NC \type{\symbol[smallcircle]} \NC \symbol[smallcircle] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[medcircle]} \NC \symbol[medcircle] \NC\NR \NC \type{\symbol[bigcircle]} \NC \symbol[bigcircle] \NC\NR \stoptabulate
