1. {} ≠ [], see \defineconversion

2. To end a paragraph use empty lines, \\ is wrong

<example>
\defineconversion[fnsym][\m{\dagger},\m{*},\m{**},\m{***}]

\setupnotation[footnote][numberconversion=fnsym] % change footnote symbols
\setupnote    [footnote][rule=off] % disbale the rule before the footnote block

\starttext

This is a footnote\footnote{a fnote}

And another for clarity\footnote{the 2nd footnote.}

\stoptext
</example>
