Windows 7 is supposed to display non-ASCII characters just fine out of the box but for some strange reason that's not always the case. A brand new Windows 7 installation can sometimes have problems displaying (not typing) Chinese characters.
Worse, it's not across the board. Some parts of the OS may work just fine (browser works but not Notepad, or vice versa) while others don't.
Here's one way to fix it.

Windows Locale settings |
Head over to Windows' locale settings (just
look for Region and Language settings in Control Panel) and
change the system locale to Chinese (PRC) and reboot. Check to make sure everything's as they should be.
You can revert the locale back, it won't cause the blocks to reappear. It's one of those weird Windows bugs.
