Hey.

Trying to use the interpunct · as a dot operator (normally \cdot), I
noticed, that it is not shown correctly in math mode. Since the
interpunct has different applications in different languages, in text
mode its appearance seems to be okay.
But isn't it possible to change its functionality to a multiplication
sign in math mode?

Find tex- and pdf-file attached.

\starttext

The interpunct is not shown correctly:

$\cdot$ is not the same as · (text mode) or $·$ (math mode).

\stoptext

You are using 0x00B7 (middle dot). For multiplication, you should use 
0x22C5 (dot operator).
