Hi!
Unicode subscripts do not work (at least, in math):
\starttext
$a₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉₋₌₊$
\stoptext
prints only "a". The file char-def.lua contains block like this:
[0x2080]={
category="no",
description="SUBSCRIPT ZERO",
direction="en",
linebreak="al",
specials={ "sub", 0x0030 },
unicodeslot=0x2080,
},
Which file should handle this "specials={ "sub", 0x0030 }"?
P.S.: Superscript digits work. Probably, the font contains ¹ but not ₁.

in which case ... do you expect that glyph? or maybe one special for
math? and does its size match the other superscripts that are not in the
font? these super/sub things are historic ballast and not that useful
anyhow, attached a way to deal with it in your document, but you have to
load it explicitly with \usemodule[mathcrap]
as soon as math-stream interpretation (as for instance in msword) is
introduced in mkiv i might consider some collapsing mechanism

OK, I shall replace all unicode sub/sup scripts with _ and ^.
Is it possible to print some warnings/errors for such crappy characters? As
a user, I don't know in advance which characters are crappy.

there are
\checkcharactersinfont
\removemissingcharacters
(long time not tested)
for sure we can add some checking (for which i need to flag those code
points in the char-def file)

Those characters are not intended for use as real sub/superscripts, they
are their for "round trip compatibility" (AKA the source of all Unicode
discrepancies).
