Re: Why instead of characters I have squares?

What different fonts have you tried?  Is that supposde to be this gylph?  I don't believe that is covered by many fonts (only one noted on that site).

I have not one such symbol / emoji, they are many. Yes, and in almost all fonts Noto Sans I have instead of Russian and English letters - squares
Instead of characters, I meant emoji and symbol, the translator badly translated

Ah, you just need a CJK font.  Noto-sans does not provide those glphs, but noto-sans-cjk will.  Any of the following fonts from the repo *should* provide those glyphs:

noto-fonts-cjk
adobe-source-han-sans-otc-fonts
adobe-source-han-serif-otc-fonts
ttf-arphic-ukai
ttf-arphic-uming
wqy-microhei

The top three are recommended in the fonts page of the wiki for CJK coverage.
