For any other Anki users seeing squares on Android 2.3.3 who come across this, I believe this is because there is not a supported way to add fonts or update the unicode. I found a way to install an additional font :
http://khmerbird.com/technology/how-to-install-khmer-unicode-on-android-phone.html Basically this says to take your font, say, KhmerOS.ttf, and add it to /system/fonts under an existing name that is not a system font, such as DroidSansThai.ttf . After I did this, Anki shows me the characters for my deck, presumably due to the Antisquare fix! Sorry if this doesn't exactly pertain to Android developers but I wanted to record this somewhere in case I need to remember how to do it again.
