Do you have the desired font configured in ~/.dillo/dillorc ?
Something like this should work (assuming you have the font available in
your OS):
font_sans_serif="Noto Sans JP"
You can use fc-match to see what a given font resolves to in your
system. As I don't have Noto, it resolves DejaVu which doesn't handle
Japanese either:
% fc-match 'Noto Sans JP'
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"
This is the same problem I described in fedi for Emojis:

To make it work you can specify a font that has Japanese glyphs like
Alex suggested or use a CSS rule in ~/.dillo/style.css in case the site
doesn't use "sans-serif" as the font.
I tried myself installing noto-fonts and noto-fonts-cjk, but then:
% fc-match 'Noto Sans JP'
NotoSans-Regular.ttf: "Noto Sans" "Regular"
Doesn't find it, it seems to be called "Noto Sans CJK JP":
% fc-match 'Noto Sans CJK JP'
NotoSansCJK-Regular.ttc: "Noto Sans CJK JP" "Regular"
So this did it for me:
% grep Noto ~/.dillo/dillorc
font_sans_serif="Noto Sans CJK JP"
Hopefully this won't be needed in FLTK 1.4, which has font substitution
support (it will find a fallback font in your system that has Japanese).
Best,
Rodrigo.
