At least, this time, that is very useful to me, as ConTEXT will replace for me the use of Gedit, because ConTEXT handles correctly the Kana shift states (about a half of my keyboard layout). However, as it is new, the support of characters like U+2610 or simply precomposed letters with macron or double acute is not yet ensured. When I've some time left I'll write to them, because the project is very promising.
One needs a good UTF-8 text editor as well.

The link above has an entry for that, too.

It hard to figure out from the documentation, so it might be better to ask there.
