Or a bug in mkii: enco-utf.tex: Line 3055 : \def\textellipsis {…} % HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS enco-def.tex: \definecharacter textellipsis {\mathematics\cdots} try this: =============== % engine=luatex \starttext text\textellipsis text\unknown \stoptext =============== Another big difference. \textellipsis behaves differently in mkii and mkiv.
