The only other character that I could find with multiple alternatives is=20 the partial symbol. So, I suggest the following macro: \definemathmappings % and \setupmathmappings [....] [digits=3D..., uclatin=3D...., lclatin=3D...., ucgreek=3D..., lcgreek=3D..., nabla=3D..., partial=3D...] Other symbols (blackboard sum, differential operator, etc) are better=20 handled by a dedicated macro rather than input mappings. If there are no other concerns, Hans, Mojca, and I can take this offline.
