Something between a dream and nightmare :
\startuseMPgraphic{smile}
draw image (
path p ; p := (0,2) .. (2,2) .. (0,-2) ;
draw p randomized .5 ;
draw (0.5,1) ;
draw (0.5,-1) ;
) xsized EmWidth ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\definesymbol[smile][\useMPgraphic{smile}]
\starttext
\startTEXpage[width=20em]
\dorecurse{100}{\dontleavehmode\symbol[smile] }
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
