[SOLVED] Can't display some unicode characters

Hello, I noticed today when I went to the Go programming language website, where the first example you see contains a chinese word (that means world), that my Arch Linux install can't display some Unicode characters (that included). Is there a known way to solve this? I'm using KDE but it happens also on GNOME, and on every application (I tested Firefox, Chromium, Kate and Konsole).

Most likely you just need a font that includes those code points.

Can you give me an example? I tried with lots of fonts but nothing worked.

Solved by installing adobe-source-han-sans-cn-fonts and adobe-source-han-sans-jp-fonts.
