This means that the pango could not find the appropriate glyphs 
("characters"). Make sure that your font back end is configured 
properly to find chinese fonts. For Xft2, this is /etc/fonts/font.conf
or ~/.fonts/font.conf, IIRC. 

Gtk2 does not render any string that is not all UTF8 (unless explicitely 
told), so if you see something, then it is UTF8 but that it could not find
correct fonts.

Cheers,
