Hi,
I recently tried to typeset a table with checkmarks and x marks.
\checkmark exists but is there a predefined x mark symbol (\xmark does
not work)?
In general: For LaTeX there exists the very helpful comprehensive LaTeX symbol list [1].
Is there a similar documentation for ConTeXt somewhere?
Best,
Gerion

Just as an info. I'm using Noto symbols now:
```
\definefont[symbolFont][name:notosanssymbols2regular*default at 11pt]
\define{\yes}{{\symbolFont\utfchar{0x1f5f8}}}
\define{\no}{{\symbolFont\utfchar{0x1f5f4}}}
\starttext
\yes and \no.
\stoptext
```

Hmm, you are right, like a little frayed. 02713 and 02714 are similar.
I guess, this should look like they were drawn with a brush.
