Cannot see special characters

I cant see any specail characters apart from the usal ones like !"£$%^&()_+=#';][/.,\
I have no idea what is wrong.

I can see them in character map, but not whne they are in other applications.

The ones in the image on the right where "ＪｄｅＬＮｈｉＯＰｊｋＱＲｌｍＳＴｎｏＵ"

Re: Cannot see special characters

You should have a Unicode locale set at /etc/rc.conf. Check the one you have and if it isn't UTF-8, you should check /etc/locale.gen, uncomment the unicode locale for your language and run locale-gen as root to generate it. Then change the LOCALE at /etc/rc.conf to the same exact name as the one you have uncommented.

Re: Cannot see special characters

Usually boxes == your font doesn't have that character.  Try a different font.
