The section where I see the boxes with number and letters in it is:
Alfred changed his name from 選ばれた子供 (Chosen Child) to Alfred.
However, this isn't the only site I see these boxes on.
That are Chinese characters.

The page source says <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />, so it is defined as Unicode. Apparently, your Firefox doesn't switch to display Unicode characters automatically. Mine here does.
Try View>Character set and select unicode for that page. You should see Chinese (although I doubt if you can read it).
- What version of Firefox are you running? On what OS?
- If you use IE for that page, does it work?

I went to View>Character encoding>Unicode(UTF-8), and still no dice. I'm running Firefox 3.5.8, and my OS is Windows XP Professional Version 5.1(Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158: Service Pack 2)
(NT) And in IE?

Why bother the translation is already right there.
Alfred changed his name from 選ばれた子供 (Chosen Child) to Alfred.

I checked with my Firefox (3.6 now). If the character set is set Unicode, it looks like Chinese. If the character set is set to Western (ISO-8059-1) it looks like boxes. And my Firefox automatically selects Unicode, because that's in the header.
- Check again.
- Check how IE behaves.
- Compare with another machine.
