Glossary write to database error

Hi all I am setting up a biomechanics equation glossary but every time I include a Greek symbol I get a write to database error. On the Moodle page the title appears but no text. Any ideas?

It would be easier to help you if you could provide the text of that biomechanics expression including that Greek symbol!

Apologies - that was an obvious omission:

Examples include:

F ∝ ρ.A.v2

a = Dv / Dt (actually the D here should have been the Greek letter delta)

F= μ x N

Thanks again

I cannot reproduce the problem - either on 1.9 or 2.0. The examples you give display OK.

Do those expressions appear in the glossary concept field or definition (the latter, I presume).

Moodle 1.9 or 2.0?

Greek characters not displayed when viewing the glossary itself or in the glossary popup window which appears when clicking on the glossary autolinks in a text on your site?

Please provide as many details as possible, including screenshots, export your "problem glossary" (or part of it) and attach it to a further post here so I can examine it.
