When I type the Chinese character for "drink," it always shows up as "喝," which is incorrect. And this is not the only time where Chinese characters show up wrong. What can I do to fix this?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
PS Apple does now have some Cantonese input:

wow i just checked to see if mandarin, cantonese and other dialects people in that country speak but there is not any
just simplified and traditional, so i guess is regarding the characters instead to the language or dialect.
but there is Canadien French and English Canadian which i use as well as Kanji, hiragana and katakana.
sometime i will cut and paste kanji characters i know when writing in Japanese instead of the keyboard stoke,
if that helps

Apple at present only provides pinyin type input for Mandarin, but you can get one for Cantonese from other sources if you want.

PS If by chance you are talking about the form of the characters, then you should try going to System Preferences > Language and make sure that Chinese is higher than Japanese on the list you find there. If Japanese is higher then you will get the (sometimes different) Japanese forms of Han characters, as illustrated below:
Exactly which Chinese input source are you using? And exactly what key sequence are you pressing to create the drink character?
