Also is there a more elegant way to get the footnote aligned under the table to the left side.  I am using narrower to force it to postion.  This doesn't show up right in the minimal, but it works.

Slightly modified solution I already wrote three hours ago for another thread regarding a similar question:

\defineconversion[fnsym][\m{\dagger},\m{*},\m{**},\m{***}]

\starttext

\subject{Subject Name}

\startplacetable[location={force,none}]
	\startlocalfootnotes \setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=fnsym]
		\startplacelegend
			\startcontent
				\starttable[|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|][bodyfont=10pt]
				\HL
				\VL X-ITEM
				\VL
				\VL $\oplus$\footnote[hanzi]{Traditional Characters}
				\VL
				\VL $\oplus$\note[hanzi]
				\VL
				\VL $\oplus$
				\VL
				\VL $\oplus$
				\VL\MR
				\VL Y-ITEM
				\VL
				\VL $\oplus$
				\VL
				\VL$\oplus$
				\VL 
				\VL $\oplus$
				\VL
				\VL $\oplus$
				\VL\MR
				\HL
				\stoptable 
			\stopcontent
			\startcaption
				\placelocalfootnotes
			\stopcaption
		\stopplacelegend
	\stoplocalfootnotes
\stopplacetable

\stoptext
