They won't appear as substitutes for Latin characters, the way Symbol font does, for instance. Have you looked at the fonts in Font Book and paged down to the Chinese code pages to see what's there?

That's right, or more accurately, while most Latin fonts don't have,
say, Chinese characters, the font rendering system will automatically
substitute a font which does.

Laura, can you view the characters on this page?
