Hi Hans,

Typesetting the following with XeConTeXt:

%% eth-hans-2.tex
\starttext

Testing... ð

\bgroup
\let\unicodechar\unicodenumber
\catcode`ð=\active \defð{^^F0}
\egroup

Testing... ð
\stoptext

gives what is intended, that is a PDF with twice "Testing... ð".
However the above cannot be typeset with ConTeXt alone, since an  
error is diagnosed saying

! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
                    ∞
l.11 \catcode`√∞
                 =\active \def√∞{^^F0}
?

Best regards: OK
