How to view characters of a different language?

Recently i’ve changed pc’s and swapped with my sister.
My old pc could read characters from different languages, such as chinesee or japanese characters, or even symbols from ‘Character map’.
This pc however, seems to show them as blank squares.

Is there some sort of software i have to download to be able to view them?
If so, what do i have to download or install?

Thanks.

Go to the Microsoft website and download Chinese and Japanese language packs

    You can only see the fonts you have in C:\Windows\Fonts – you may not have the fonts you had in the other computer. (You can just copy them from one computer to the other.)
