Hi there, I'm not sure if this is the same problem but after I struggled
with strange characters in Spreadsheet Excel Writer for some time I wrote an
article from my lessons learned:
http://research.elabs.govt.nz/generating-excel-spreadsheets-with-maori-macrons-in-php/
It contains some example code, hope it helps.

The charset: latin1 and the collation: latin1_swedish_ci.
Trivia quiz at a MySQL presentation at my Chicago PHP User Group a few year
ago comes in handy!
The defaults for MySQL are actually latin1_swedish as that is the native
language of the original developer, (?Monty Widenus?)
This charset differs in only one character (or two chars switched?) from
English.
It seems unlikely to produce drastic problems in iconv, but I have no idea
what I'm actually talking about.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program!
