Another reason for starting a context with a character other than "@" is to allow some natural groupings whenever contexts are shown alphabetically. For example, five or six contexts that I use constantly start with "*" or "#" which puts them to the top of the list, while some that I access a couple of times per year are at the bottom, starting with "☆"

I'm glad you like the icons. I used to do a lot of trips, for a while, and spent a bit of the time creating my own, custom icons. I used simple shapes with specific colours for particular groups of icons, so that they would be quick to recognise at a glance. Back when you could get a Google Groups conversation thread pinned to the top of a forum, I started this thread to share icons and useful formatting and filtering examples.The key with getting your icons to work, is to assign them to automatic formatting rules sorted into the right order (so the ones you want to see don't get overwritten by later rules). Here are screenshots of what I have at the start and the end of my automatic formatting rules list:
