Footnotes apply the \tx style to the number in the running text and to 
get the same text size with \high you need \tx before the argument.

Another solution is to create your own \high command where you set the 
text size as default value but now you have to pass \txx as value 
because by default \high already uses style=\tx. When you now combine 
the default \tx from \high and the \tx from the footnote you get the 
\txx size (which is used in the custom \high command).

%%%% begin example
\definehigh[fakenotesymbol][style=\txx]

\starttext

\startlines
test\footnote{\unknown}
test\high{\tx 1}
test\fakenotesymbol{1}
\stoplines

\stoptext
%%%% end example
