The document you mention is only relevant for LaTeX.

You have to use math mode to show the symbol but not every font contains it.
\setupbodyfont[xits]
\starttext
$ \bigstar \quad ★ $
\stoptext
The better solution is to use a symbol font like Font Awesome [1] which contains the symbol you want to use.
