From ConTeXt's Wiki Garden the below should work, but it isn't.
How can this be accomlished. I want to use just \dagger for the symbol, but any symbol would do.
\definesymbol[4]{\dagger]
\starttext
\defineconversion[dagger][{\dagger},{\dagger}] % use a \dagger for the footnote.
\setupfootnotes[conversion=set dagger,location=text]
This is the dagger, \dagger{} I want to use for reference\footnote{Will the dagger appear}.
A second line here for robustness.\footnote{It's a number still.}
\stoptext
-------------------------------- end of example
Also I could find no explanations for what a set is, as in conversion=set 1 or 2 or 3 etc. What is set 1 or 2 or 3?
Regards.

A set is a list with symbols:
\starttext
\dorecurse {8}{\convertnumber{set 0}{\recurselevel}\quad}\par
\dorecurse {9}{\convertnumber{set 1}{\recurselevel}\quad}\par
\dorecurse{12}{\convertnumber{set 2}{\recurselevel}\quad}\par
\dorecurse{15}{\convertnumber{set 3}{\recurselevel}\quad}\par
\stoptext

It didn't work. Either with texexec or with context.
Here is a simpler test case
-------------------------------- start
% basic test to change footnotes bullet to a symbol
% basice test to change footnotes bullet to a symbol
% \setupfootnotes[rule=off] % had no affect
\defineconversion[fnsym]{ \dagger,*,**,***} % etc.
\setupfootnotes[conversion=fnsym, numberconversion=fnsym] % Doesn't work
\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=fnsym,alternative=text] % Doesn't work
% conversion=set fnsym or conversion=fnsym does't work
% numberconversion=fnsym or numberconversion=set fnsym doesn't work
\starttext
This is a footnote\footnote{a fnote}\\
And another for clarity\footnote{the 2nd footnote.}
\stoptext
----------------end the above does not produce a dagger footnote bullet (only std numbers)
It should be a simple thing to do, but I've tried a lot of combinations..
Any help would be appreciated.

1. {} ≠ [], see \defineconversion
2. To end a paragraph use empty lines, \\ is wrong
<example>
\defineconversion[fnsym][\m{\dagger},\m{*},\m{**},\m{***}]
\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=fnsym] % change footnote symbols
\setupnote [footnote][rule=off] % disbale the rule before the footnote block
\starttext
This is a footnote\footnote{a fnote}
And another for clarity\footnote{the 2nd footnote.}
\stoptext
</example>

\defineconversion[fnsym][\dagger,*,**,***]
\setupnotation
[footnote]
[numberconversion=fnsym,
alternative=text] % <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< wrong alternative
\starttext
\dorecurse {10} {
This has note #1. \footnote{note #1}
}
\stoptext
There is no alternative text. I've added an extra catch for that
(fallback to 'left').

Thank you both, Wolfgang and Hans for helping me be able to use user specified footnote bulltes.
I am using it in a table which I encapsulate with localfootnotes. I call
\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=fnsym] % change footnote symbols
after the startlocal, and it works in the table, but the use of symbols persists after teh stoplocalfootnotes is issued. However if I undo, just before the end as
\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=n]
then all works well and the counts carry on correctly.
Thank you.
