First, make sure your html has something like this in the HEAD to force it into UTF mode:

<meta charset=utf-8" />

If that doesn't help, you may need to install a font on the system, or provide one explicitly with CSS

On Apt-based systems (like Ubuntu or Debian): sudo apt-get install fonts-wqy-zenhei
On Yum-based systems (like Redhat): yum install "@Chinese Support"

This comment shows you how to install a nonstandard system font.

Let me know how it goes!
