Unfortunately, this does not work for me (XBMCbuntu/Frodo/2.5.9).
Neon still shows the rectangles instead of characters.
Does anyone know of a way to get Simplified Chinese characters to display properly?

Which font do you have selected under Settings-Appearance-Skins-Fonts?
I have no problems with Arial for simplified characters, there are occasionally issues with traditional chars though.
I have Settings-Appearance-International-Character Set set to default.
I'm running Gotham Alpha7 XBMC

Yeah. Arial works fine for the Confluence skin.
In the Neon skin there is only a choice of Default and Neon - All Languages for fonts. Neither of these appear to be working for Chinese characters.
Arabic and a few others seem to work fine.
The International Character Set I'm using is Chinese Simplified (GBK). None of the other Chinese character sets (or Default) seem to work either.

Thanks a lot for your response and the link Mayoman.
I'll give it a try and add Arial as a 3rd option.
