Title:
  Grub 2 in Xenial comes with smaller Unicode font, and cannot display
  some Chinese characters

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The package grub-common (from grub2 source package) provides
  /usr/share/grub/unicode.pf2.

  Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily) comes with the version 2.02~beta2-29ubuntu0.3, and
  has a font of size 2.4MB, which can display all Chinese characters
  correctly.

  After upgrading to 16.04 (Xenial), the newer version
  2.02~beta2-36ubuntu2 only has a font of 1.4MB. During the boot
  process, some Chinese characters in the menu are replaced with boxed
  question marks.

  The file sizes, before and after shots are attached.
