Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with PHP's default_charset set to UTF-8, Apache restarted, and an Excel file containing non-Western Latin characters. Compare the parsed output with default_charset set to iso-8859-1; the work is done when those characters are returned correctly under UTF-8.
