empty box usually just mean you are missing the font for that char.
That is, your font doesn't not have a glyph for that char.

The solution, is probably switch to a font that is designed for
simplified or traditional chars, or for both.

I'm on a Mac, using Carbon Emacs (which is a pre-build binary). My
emacs can display both simplified and traditional chinese no problem.
