Bug description:  chinese char and word problem

Description:
------------
I have try this code in 
php 5.0.3 and 4.3
I'm using Chinese winXP and Chinese Office XP
apache 2

both version of php also have the same problem
When I use Chinese character in the string, the output of the word file
will have some meaningless spaces after the words I expected(my expected
string is ok, no problem).  There are no problem if I using English. And
this problem will not occurs in excel.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// starting word
$word = new COM("word.application") or die("Unable to instantiate Word");
echo "Loaded Word, version {$word->Version}\n";

//bring it to front
$word->Visible = 1;

//open an empty document
$word->Documents->Add();

//do some weird stuff
$word->Selection->TypeText("§A¦n¶Ü");
$word->Documents[1]->SaveAs("Useless test.doc");

//closing word
$word->Quit();

//free the object
$word = null;
?> 

Expected result:
----------------
§A¦n¶Ü

Actual result:
--------------
§A¦n¶Ü____

(there are some spaces occurs, I use the underline to repersent the
spaces)
