This is hopefully a simple question. What package do I install to get
Icecat to show non-latin characters in web pages? I often see those
hexadecimal boxes in place of missing characters.
If there is a separate package for each language, I would like to
install the one for Japanese. I don't really know anything about how
font packages work.

Luther,
I think installing one of these font packages:
font-wqy-zenhei
font-wqy-microhei
font-adobe-source-han-sans
And then restarting IceCat should solve the issue for Japanese.

You may also need to run “fc-cache -f” first to update the font cache.
