In my browser, both characters show as exactly the same character. Must
be just a configuration problem on your computer. There is a
traditional Chinese form of the "tie" character. But Japanese don't use
that one.

Google sucks. Forget about google. Why not use a Chinese search engine?
Try Baidu:

Try downloading NJ Star Communicator:

You can then input Chinese into your browser. Copy paste just doesn't
work very well, in my experience.
