For the bored ...

or

\setuplayout

    topspace=1cm,
    header=1cm,
    footer=1cm,
    width=middle,
    height=middle]

\usemodule[mat-11]
\starttext
     \setupbodyfont[stix,12pt]
     \showmathfontcharacters
\stoptext

or:

\usemodule[fnt-33]
\starttext
     \setupbodyfont[stix]
     \ShowMathAlphabetCoverage
     \ShowMathCharacterCoverage
\stoptext

or (quite different extra glyph lists, see private area):

\setupbodyfont[modern]
\usemodule[fnt-31]
\startluacode
     fonts.tracers.coverage {
         "cambria.ttc(Cambria Math)",
         "xits-math.otf",
         "stixmath-regular.otf",
         "lmmath-regular",
     }
\stopluacode

so Khaled might be tempted to add the few new shapes to xits
