My guess is that the character is identical in Chinese and Japanese (kanji) alphabets and that Emacs just uses the "best fitting" font, which isn't installed on this user's workstation. Apparently, (list-charset-chars 'chinese-gb2312) correctly shows the character, but the font isn't selected when displaying a regular buffer. Is that a bug or a configuration problem? I'm not really knowledgeable about this stuff, can someone enlighten me?
