It looks like they are using the Song typeface for simplified Chinese (宋体). Maybe they are using this to get square symbols instead of the usual rectangles of monospace.

They could have used monospace with letter-spacing to make it square.

Try "letter-spacing: 0.1em;" to get an idea of the difference.
