The PHONETIC function is highly problematic as the results depend on the input that was given with the IME (Input Method Editor), so actually the state of the IME is to be saved along with the string it produced. It also depends on the feature set of the IME, so cross-platform it would be even more problematic. For these reasons the ODF OpenFormula subcommittee refrained from adding the PHONETIC function to the specification. Eike -- LibreOffice Calc developer.
