 * When I try to save a new participant it doesn’t do so and shows “Database E” 
   at the top of the page.

 * There are some characters you can’t use like that…that is a double-byte character
   and although in theory you should be able to use any character, this type of 
   character causes problems apparently. I’m just learning about this myself.
 * You can use arrow symbols if they have an HTML Entity representation (as opposed
   to an HTML code representation) those seem to work…for example:
 * [https://www.toptal.com/designers/htmlarrows/](https://www.toptal.com/designers/htmlarrows/)
 * You can copy and paste in the character and it works fine.
 * I need to take a closer look at this to figure out how to fix the problem for
   real.
