\usemodule[simplefonts]

\setmainfontfallback[Symbola][range=0x0001-0xFFFF,force=no]
\setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella]

\starttext
Palatino ❡
\stoptext

You can control the replacement of the main font with the “check”
and “force” keys (requires the latest version of the module i uploaded
a few minutes ago), Hans described their function in context’s source:

% check : only replace when present in replacement font (default: no)
% force : force replacent even when basefont has glyph  (default: yes)
