I also tried this:
-----------------------
\starttext
8 1/2 × 11 inch, 
\stoptext
---------------------
The error message is the same:
-------------------------------
system          > tex > error on line 2 in
file /usr/local/active/hall/ftp/test.tex: String
contains an invalid utf-8 sequence ...

1     \starttext
2 >>  8 1/2 × 11 inch, 
3     \stoptext
4     
5     
----------------------------------------
