Any modern operating system comes with unicode fonts which contain a perfectly good selection of glyphs for the sort of punctuation characters we're talking about here.

On my computer, the text on Japanese, Korean, and Chinese sites is mostly a bunch of boxes, since those fonts aren't installed and the glyphs don't exist in whatever font my web browser is substituting.
