fortune-zh's shijing.gb seems to use a white square ("\xa1\xa5") for characters missing from the gb encoding used at that time (gb2312?). These "white square" blocks passes down into the UTF-8 version (shijing) as U+25A1 characters, that is, an actual white square in Unicode.

Since it's now 2017[citation needed] and more legitimate sources for Shi-Jing like [1] are available, fortune-zh should really consider re-crawling these ancient text in a modern encoding.
