zero-width joiners etc

zero-width joiners etc

[Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد]

Dear gang,

Does anyone here remember how to toggle Unicode control characters like  
the zero-width joiners, non-joiners etc? For example, some fonts map the  
control character to a symbol but we usually don't want that symbol  
showing up in normal text output. I know there is (used to be?) a switch  
in MkIV for toggling this but can't find it.

(BTW: I miss the searchable mail archives on the ConTeXt Garden...)

Thanks and Best Wishes
Idris
