Unicode, one code.

Does anyone know how I can fix an issue I'm having in which some characters/symbols come up as boxes? or question marks?

To follow up, the point of Unicode was the ability to expand the available code points without knowledge of the underlying storage medium.

God its very simple. Unicode has nothing to DO WITH 2-4 bytes!!. Unicode assigns code points to abstract characters An abstract character is not a graphical glyph but a unit of textual data. Each abstract character can be joined with another character using (zero width code point joiner) to make up a composite graphical glyph. The storing of the Unicode (code points) is done by using encoding. The encoding can be UTF-8, UTF-16, UCS-2. The point is the encoding has nothing to do with UNICODE!

pretty good, keep going
What you are experiencing is fairly common and caused by something regarding the application not supporting the character set. It could be missing fonts, a web page encoding, a function in the application, database, but we need a little bit more context.
