It is a font problem, you get the rectangle when the machine doesn't have a substitute font with the check-mark glyph, U+2713.

XP did ship with very limited fonts, so this is not entirely unexpected. Run Charmap.exe on that machine so see the glyphs that are available. Ask as superuser.com for the best way to get the machine updated.
