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>
===Which (free) font contains some symbol?===
* [http://dantewww.ctan.org/CTANtex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf comprehensive] list of symbols in TeX fonts
* [http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/ Zapf Dingbats, Unicode and Apple symbols] and how to use them with ConTeXt (Adam's page)
* [http://www.unicode.org/charts/symbols.html Unicode slots] of symbols
===Predefined Symbol Sets===
