I have upgraded my context version few minutes ago:
$ context --version
mtx-context     | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60
mtx-context     | current version: 2012.11.23 17:35

but your following code doesn't work completely:

The '^' and 'e' all print a '10 ×' at the begining. It's what is expected for 
'e' but not for '^'. Did I miss something?
