⌀ or \varnothing
Have a look at char-def.lua for a list of context names for various
glyphs. It might make sense to enable the fonts.missing tracker.
Then ConTeXt warns you that a particular glyph is not available.
\enabletrackers [fonts.missing]
> Is there any compilation of symbols avaliable in ConTeXt?
Not that I'm aware of. In ConTeXt you have easy access to all
characters of any font¹. Either input the character directly if it's
present in the current font or you can create a symbol:
\definefontsynonym
[minion]
[name:minionproregular]
\definesymbol
[leaf]
[\getnamedglyphdirect
{minion}
{bullet.010}]
\starttext
Foo \symbol[leaf] Bar
\stoptext
