Have you enabled the correct input-encoding aka regime?
The following code works here:
% output=pdftex
\enableregime[il1] % iso-latin1 here on my Linux box
                   % you should try 'win' instead of 'il1'
\setupbodyfont[aer] % ec-encoded CM-Fonts

\starttext
Water boils at 100°C.
\stoptext

also with URW standard Type1-fonts:

% output=pdftex
\enableregime[il1]
\usetypescript[berry][ec]
\setupbodyfont[pos,10pt]

\starttext
Water boils at 100°C.
\stoptext
