Symbols are named graphical or typographic elements. They can be divided into symbol sets, which gives some namespace independence, as well. You can load the symbol definitions from a <tt>symb-bla</tt> file with:
<texcode>
</texcode>
<context>
\usesymbols[mvs]
\definesymbol[1][{\symbol[martinvogel 2][PointingHand]}]
\item item
