I'm looking for a symbol similar to \lozenge, but squarer (like
\Diamond in some LaTeX packages, see The Comprehensive Symbol List,
p. 112). Any idea how I may typeset it in ConTeXt (MKIV)? \diamond
is too small. I am using TeX Gyre Pagella Math if that matters.
I also have a couple of questions about \showmathfontcharacters:
1) does that list show all and only the symbols available in the
current font, or a predefined list of symbols?
2) The list shows a Unicode point for each symbol, but not the
corresponding TeX command (if it exists). Say I need U+02B31
(three leftwards arrows), and I don't want to bother searching
TCSL above. May I use the Unicode code point to define a control
sequence in ConTeXt that prints the symbol? If so, how?
Nicola

Unless I am overlooking something, there is no such symbol in
TeX Gyre Pagella Math, so maybe this is not possible.

Ok, this is not correct: the command is there, for symbols that
have one. But how do I use symbols with no associated TeX command?

I could not find a diamond on p. 112 in my version of the
comprehensive symbol list, but maybe:
\definefontfamily[myface][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella]
\definefallbackfamily[myface][mm][Xits][range={"025C7}]
\definefontfamily[myface][mm][TeX Gyre Pagella Math]
\setupbodyfont[myface]
\starttext
You could try $⋄\quad ⃟ $ from Pagella or $◇$ from Xits.
\stoptext
There is a nice document, unicode-symbols.pdf you can have a look in
for a list of (unicode) math symbols.

there are s-math-*.mkiv files that can generate all kind of lists
you can run s-mkiv-repertoire.mkiv to get a comparison (at the end of
the file you can see how)
% list here (some 8 fonts) that you have on your system:
\showmathcharacterssetbodyfonts{lucidaot,cambria,xits,modern,pagella,termes,bonum,schola,dejavu}
\starttext
\setupbodyfont[pagella, 12pt]
\showmathfontrepertoire
\stoptext
you can click around (on a decent high res screen)

Hans, Mikael, thanks for your suggestions, all of them valuable.
Borrowing the symbol from Xits is a fine solution.
The comparison tables come in very handy, too.
Thanks again,
Nicola
