Follow-up Comment #21:

John accepted the patch in bug #59214 and pushed it to the repo.

When that change will be released, it will no longer be necessary to convert
anything when using the COM interface.

The attached patch makes the according preparations for that change. And it
also tries to recover/write as much as possible with older versions of the
windows package.

Like already written before it also removes the (optional but incorrect)
character conversions with the OCT interface.

Wrt to the Java interfaces or LibreOffice: I don't have Java, the interfaces
or LibreOffice installed. But if you are interested, you could try to read
"Unicode.xlsx" or write a file with "tst_unicode_xlsx.m" with each of them.
My hopes are that they are cross-platform enough to assume UTF-8 and
everything Just Works (TM). ;-)
