Next time give a complete MWE with useable fonts
\setupnotation
[arfootnote]
[numberconversion=arabicdecimals]
as in:
\setupbodyfont[dejavu]
\definenote
[arfootnote]
\setupnotation
[arfootnote]
[numberconversion=arabicdecimals]
\setupnote
[arfootnote]
[headstyle={\switchtobodyfont[kitab]},
textcommand=\footnotenotenumbercommand,
alternative=text]
\protected\def\footnotenotenumbercommand#1{\high{(#1)}}
\starttext
x\arfootnote{x}
\stoptext
The #1 passed can be anything that renderes the note so the converters
sees rubish. You can see details with you add
\detokenize{#1}
in your macro.
