in the interest of education, no this is NOT a font issue. using a font that
doesn't contain the chars you're trying to display usually results in empty
squares ("[]") or a square w/that char's hex value.
if the encoding is off a bit (during display) you get something called mojibake
(and yes it happens so often that somebody in japan coined a term for it).
if the encoding between the db & your display is off by a lot (say unicode in
the db vs latin-1 on the display), the data is garbaged & you see question
marks
("??").
