Did not work for me. However there was discussion that the directive 
should be invoked from command line.

But what left me really wondering this time was following. I tried to 
comment out "U0xfb35" table in "char-def.lua" for proof that this 
solution should work at all. However, for my surprise, it had no effect 
at all. For just in case, I even purged my Ubuntu PPA packaged version 
of ConTeXt to make sure that this modification I made to standalone 
version is really used. No effect. I also checked that my TeX file 
should have the correct characters, not the already combined ones. No 
error in there either.

Unfortunately internals of ConTeXt seems so complex for my level of 
programming skills that this time I could not think of anything more to try.
