It's a font problem. All of Microsoft's Chinese fonts had Japanese and
Korean characters added to them between XP and Vista, and all seem to be
missing this character.

You can see the problem here:

There should be a way for Emacs to detect this problem and avoid using
the font, but noone has stepped up to implement it yet.
