On some websites, some characters load as only boxes with four numbers/letters in them. What is this, and how do I get it to display the characters properly?

Several pages will display characters as only boxes with four letters in them. I would like it to display all the characters.

See my posts in this thread: /questions/766381

Pages that use Unicode (UTF-8) display a little box with the hex code if the character can't be displayed. That allows you to look up the character in a table. This can be caused by missing font support for East Asian (CJK: Chinese, Japanese, Korean) or complex script (Indic) languages.
