Odd Chinese Display Issue
If you are seeing something strange where the Simplified Chinese character 门 (men2, U+95E8) should appear, there is nothing wrong with your system or app. It turns out that the Hiragino Japanese fonts supplied with OS X have an unusual version of this, which I've been told can be found in Japanese handwriting (see blue item in graphic below). Normally Japanese computer text will have the Traditional character 門 (U+9580) instead.

I tried this fix but it switched the default Japanese font to something I didn't like, so I've undone it for now and will have to put up with the mistaken Chinese character.
Thanks, Paul. Presumably you saw a Chinese font being used for Japanese by default. I guess there's no easy fix for those who need to work in both languages, the default will be one or the other unless something specific is set or requested in the text.
