I want to use the Unicode Character PLAYING CARD ACE OF SPADES in a ConTeXt
document.  Because of the way the source document is created it has to be
as the actual unicode character itself, rather than a reference to a
specific character in a specific font.

Here's what I've tried, but it doesn't work:

\definefontfallback[mainface][rm][Symbola][preset=range:playingcards,force=yes]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][LibertinusSerif]
\enabletrackers[fonts.missing]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
🂡 Testing!
\stoptext

The PLAYING CARD ACE OF SPADES character does not show up in the output
PDF.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks!

Try

\definefontfallback[mainface][rm][Symbola][range=playingcards,force=yes]

The "range:..." presets are just a comma separated list of name which 
are passed to the range key.

I tried using
"\definefontfallback[mainface][rm][Symbola][range=playingcards,force=yes]"
and the PLAYING CARD ACE OF SPADES still didn't show up in the output.

I'm using " ConTeXt  ver: 2020.09.03 20:03 LMTX  fmt: 2020.9.3  int:
english/english",

It's the wrong command, you need \definefallbackfamily when you use 
\definefontfontfamily.

\definefallbackfamily[mainface][rm][Symbola][range=playingcards,force=yes]
