Because certain standards such as ASCII have different values than an Asian character set. for example, if the letter (Asian letter here) is represented by 129h in an Asian character set, then when 129h is tried to be put into ASCII, it fails, because 129h is not a valid character in ASCII, and is then shown as a box.
