Non alphabetic characters(i.e. Korean, Chinese, Japanese Hebrew etc.) are not shown properly
I'm having problem with displaying non alphabetic characters. Could anyone please tell me why it's happening and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Do you have a font installed that covers this CJK Unicode range ?
You may see little boxes with the hex code of the character if you do not have a font installed that covers this Unicode range.

well, it happened all of sudden and it shows properly 70% of the time and it doesn't 30% of the time. So I don't think it's the problem with the CJK unicode font. But thanks for the suggestion.

It's been already turned on but it's the same. The thing is it happens only sometimes and it started to happen all of sudden.

How should I install the right font then? I don't think it's the font problem though since these boxes show up only sometimes and I just don't know when it happens and when doesn't.
What font is specified and what font is Firefox trying to use (if any) ?
You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected.
You can check in the Rules tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font-family is used for selected text. You can check in the Font tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font is actually used because Firefox might be using a different font than specified by the website.
