G'day Cody Fendant,

I can comment on the "characters" part. I'm not an MSWin user, so I'm unable to help with the "Win32::OLE and Word" part.

'... all I get, ..., is (hex) C2A0, which I believe is just "non-breaking space".'

C2 is LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX (Â). A0 is NO-BREAK SPACE ( ). You can see both in the PDF: Unicode Code Chart: C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement.

C2A0 (슠) is in the PDF: Unicode Code Chart: Hangul Syllables. There are no formal names shown for any characters in that block of Unicode characters (AC00–D7AF).

My gut feeling is that this is related to different encodings in the Word and HTML documents. Another monk may be able to help further with that. If you supplied some code showing the conversion from Word to HTML you might get a better answer.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
