Most probably you got an html where far unicodes are used for common symbols. Then, if a corresponding font installed at your computer does not contain such unicodes, your html browser shows a default symbol (in your case - black squares) instead of not found symbols. When BD processes html's, it replaces such far unicodes by the corresponding ansii.
