I've been revisiting my Dingbat support, and am close to a release, but
ran into a bug on my system. In the meantime, this might help:

\loadmapfile[pdftex_dl14] % Make sure we embed the dingbats
\definefontsynonym [ZapfDingbat] [pzdr] % maybe uzdr 

\def\ZapfDingbatSymb#1{\getglyph{ZapfDingbat}{\char#1}}

\startsymbolset[Zapf Hearts] 
   \definesymbol[HeavyBlackHeart]             [\ZapfDingbatSymb{164}] 
   \definesymbol[RotatedHeavyBlackHeartBullet][\ZapfDingbatSymb{165}] 
   \definesymbol[FloralHeart]                 [\ZapfDingbatSymb{166}] 
   \definesymbol[RotatedFloralHeartBullet]    [\ZapfDingbatSymb{167}]
\stopsymbolset

\definesymbol[1][{\symbol[Zapf Hearts][FloralHeart]}] 
\definesymbol[2][{\symbol[Zapf Hearts][RotatedFloralHeartBullet]}] 

\starttext

\startitemize
\item Most fleurons are font||specific.
\item Zapf Dingbats contains a couple interesting fleurons.

 \item This is a place to start.
