Can someone explain why the "element-of" is not printed when directly put into the source, but only if introduced through TeX-math? The input file is in UTF-8 and in the texteditor the character does appear. Example:

The symbol does not appear in text mode because the normal font doesn�t contain it, only the math font does.

You can see the symbol in your text editor (or in many cases the OS) because it takes it from another font which has it. ConTeXt shows only the symbols which are in your font but you can set fallback font with the \definefontfallback command.
