Me and my friend went to wikipedia and they offered this script that was entirely boxes, and we were wondering if it's an actual language and if anybody can read it.
...maybe we're just being really stupid here. Sorry for wasting anybody's time, that's the case.

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you describe it more fully? Is it possible your browser was trying to display certain characters, but couldn't, so you just saw boxes?

Where on wikipedia was it? Maybe it was a language that your computer doesn't have fonts for, so your browser only showed boxes.

I believe it simply means your browser doesn't support a specific languages characters, so the unknown characters are replaced with the boxes.

Chances are that you were looking at a language with symbols that your browser couldn't display properly. I get that with older browsers or some non-English websites.

boxes are for characters your pc can't display, i mean non-Latin characters supposing you use Latin ones as in this question. so your pc does not display chinese or russian characters for instance.
