Fonts.
The glyph requested by gnome isn't available in the given font, so the X server/font server creates a glyph containing the number of the missing one.

Hi, Sorry for asking here, but I figure you may know, since you work so closely with GNOME. Chinese characters display as little 2-byte hexadecimal boxes, but Japanese characters display properly (as do non-English western fonts). Is this a locales problem or a fonts problem? Thanks, Ron
