I used Firefox to post, and yes, it replaced one of the characters for me. I don't know how to figure out what the encoding is for the character Emacs is correctly displaying, but the character U+4F60 does not display correctly in my version of Emacs. Instead, it shows up as the empty square. There's another version of the same character that does show up correctly in Emacs, but unfortunately it's not the one used elsewhere.
