Hello,
how to typeset "centerd asterisk" ("*") in Ctx?
I mean the symbol which is used in the third level of itemization (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations) or which can be typeset by \textasteriskcentered in LaTeX.
(I cannot find the symbol definition in Ctx itemize-command definition (source files) and simple writing "\textasteriskcentered" doesn't work.)
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Lukas

just copy some symbol from here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asterisk#Encodings
and be sure to use a font containing them.
alternatively define a command which temporarily switches to such a font
in, displays the symbol, and switches back.

The symbols in different itemise levels can be shown with \symbol[1], \symbol[2] etc. but since these numbered symbols can be redefined it is better to use the named symbol to access the star with \symbol[star].
The following example shows a few of the predefined symbols.
\starttext
\starttabulate[|l|c|]
\NC \bf Command \NC \bf Symbol \NC\NR
\TB
\NC \type{\symbol[1]} \NC \symbol[1] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[2]} \NC \symbol[2] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[3]} \NC \symbol[3] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[4]} \NC \symbol[4] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[5]} \NC \symbol[5] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[6]} \NC \symbol[6] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[7]} \NC \symbol[7] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[8]} \NC \symbol[8] \NC\NR
\TB
\NC \type{\symbol[bullet]} \NC \symbol[bullet] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[dash]} \NC \symbol[dash] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[star]} \NC \symbol[star] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[triangle]} \NC \symbol[triangle] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[circle]} \NC \symbol[circle] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[square]} \NC \symbol[square] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[diamond]} \NC \symbol[diamond] \NC\NR
\TB
\NC \type{\symbol[smallcircle]} \NC \symbol[smallcircle] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[medcircle]} \NC \symbol[medcircle] \NC\NR
\NC \type{\symbol[bigcircle]} \NC \symbol[bigcircle] \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\stoptext

Hello,
thank you, that's great.
One more question - how to use another symbol, "bigstar" (see "symbols-a4.pdf" or the attached image)?
I tried the following code, but with no success:
----
\starttext
Ttt \symbol[bigstar]
Aaa \bigstar
Bbb \symbol[mathabx][bigstar]
\stoptext
----
Best regards,
Lukas

The document you mention is only relevant for LaTeX.

You have to use math mode to show the symbol but not every font contains it.
\setupbodyfont[xits]
\starttext
$ \bigstar \quad ★ $
\stoptext
The better solution is to use a symbol font like Font Awesome [1] which contains the symbol you want to use.
