Hi,
re: http://source.contextgarden.net/symb-uni.tex
What does, for example,
"0x2000: Requires UnicodeRegular20" mean in
\startsymbolset[Unicode Additional Punctuation] % 0x2000: Requires
UnicodeRegular20
in the context of
\usesymbols[uni]
\def\mySymbol{\symbol[Unicode Additional Punctuation][*symbolname*]}
Thanks,
Alan

this system is based on big ttf files split into pfb ranges where 20
indicates a range (so, the font with symbolicname UnicodeRegular might
have many split fonts)
a kind of obsolete mechanism now that we have mkiv

Excuse me my ignorance...
What mkiv feature/mechanism replaces the obsolete one ?

Ok Hans. So back to "the old days"...
What additional instruction(s) are required to satisfy the condition of, for
example "0x2000: Requires UnicodeRegular20" ?

Most probably you need to create you own font files (tfm, enc, map files, ...)
Here's a gentle introduction of how to deal with font files. Not
exactly all aspects of it apply (some LaTeX specific files can be
omitted, but everything about tfm, enc, map ... files still applies,
and you also need to make sure that otf2tfm conversion works), but ask
if you will [still] have any questions after reading it:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide/
(I have an impression that some appedix of LaTeX companion was freely
available on web, covering the same topic, but I'm probably wrong.)
Mojca
PS: my advice: use LuaTeX or XeTeX and type that character in Unicode
