I am using a VPS from Linode whose location is Mumbai, India. When I open google.com in Chrome browser then I see this weird square boxes. If I open facebook.com then it has the same problem i.e. showing weird font. Strange thing is when I open google.com and go to the bottom of the page then it is showing my location as Beijing, China but when I open whatismyip.com then it is showing my location as Mumbai, India which is the correct one as per Linode.

How do I force browser to show everything in English? OS is Debian 9.

    Your browser tried to show everything in English, but seems your system's default font file doesn't contain these unicode characters.
