I think I'm experiencing the same problem, but I'm not sure because I can't see the
original problem text on this page.
I have documented my problem on StackOverflow with simple code to reproduce: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28534219/writing-utf-8-strings-to-word-using-php-com
Environment: I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise, Apache, MySQL, PHP 5.2.17, and Microsoft Office
2010.
It seems like the string length is not calculated correctly (using bytes and not characters),
resulting in a longer string with garbage at the end.

When I upgraded PHP to 5.2.0, this problem still exists.
Several "encoding-traslate" codes don't make effect.
Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
Apache 2
Office 2003 SP2

I have see the lastest version of php 5.0.5 and 5.1
but the change log haven't mention about this bug has been fixed. So would you tell me the
developer doesn't think that this is a bug so they will not fix it or they are try to fixing it
but didn't finish yet?

After yours information, I have try to modified my code and make it support the correct code_page.
But finially the result is exactly the same with my first script. There are some meaningless square
appears after my Chinese word. (Actually I'm quite confused that why only Word has this problem
but excel didn't?)
here are some link related to this problem:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=28117
http://hk.php.net/manual/en/class.com.php
here are my new scripts:
<?php
$code_page=array('950','0','1','2','3','65001');
for ($i=0;$i<count($code_page);$i++){
// starting word
$word = new COM("word.application",NULL,$code_page[$i]) or die("Unable to
instantiate Word");
echo "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n";
//bring it to front
$word->Visible = 1;
//open an empty document
$word->Documents->Add();
//do some weird stuff
$word->Selection->TypeText("ÄãºÃá");
$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("D:\AppServ\www\word\\".$code_page[$i].".doc");
//closing word
$word->Quit();
//free the object
$word = null;
}
?>

Make sure you're setting up the code page properly.
From the manual:
com.code_page
It controls the default character set code-page to use when passing strings to and from COM
objects. If set to an empty string, PHP will assume that you want CP_ACP, which is the default
system ANSI code page.
If the text in your scripts is encoded using a different encoding/character set by default,
setting this directive will save you from having to pass the code page as a parameter to the COM
class constructor. Please note that by using this directive (as with any PHP configuration
directive), your PHP script becomes less portable; you should use the COM constructor parameter
whenever possible.
Consult MSDN for more information on code pages.
