We don't have a reproducible example, but this usually indicates that 
the font you are using does not contain the glyphs you are requesting.

Unlikely, as quartz() does not exist on Windows, and on the windows() 
the font selection is crucial for CJK glyphs.  How about the X11() 
device?

Probably, select a suitable font.  If you can prepare a reproducible 
example (see the posting guide) we may be able to help further. 
Please use \uxxxx or put the example on a website, as mailers frequent 
mangle non-ASCII content or attachments.
