​Are you sure that the file is actually unicode ? MS Word have a history of
not doing what he's told with file encodings...

If it is, you might want to try UTF-16, some quick search (
http://www.herongyang.com/Unicode/Word-Save-File-in-Unicode.html) suggest
that the label-less "unicode" settings can be UTF-16 with BOM​. Now, BOM
support in LibreOffice is another matter. The UTF-16 encoding should be
right below UTF-8; at least it is with LibreOffice 5.0.5.2

(Also, your signature is ill-formed; it should begin with "-- ", two dashes
and a space, followed by a newline. This way people that don't care about
signature can easily filter them out).
