text: picture problems on computer? when i use a online japanese translator only two small boxes appear it won't show up on my computer for some reason can you please help me by telling me how to fix it the problem is that your browser doesn't support unicode characters, say, the page is in a language that the browser doesn't support, so, each letter that it doesn't recognize it'll show them as a small box.  try with a different browser or upgrade your current one.
