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://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;$icount($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.

I am experiencing the same bug with Arabic - I pull a UTF-8 character
from a database, and push it into Word with UTF-8 for the characterset.
I get meaningless characters (the box) appearing after (to the right of)
the arabic text. Also, the arabic text gets mangled - words out of
order...
I would try to post the input/output here, but it would be
meaningless...

$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);
