Summary0017287: Special characters are not converted properly when pasting tables from Calc
DescriptionIt looks like when pasting cells from LibreOffice Calc into Scribus, the cells are quite nicely converted to SVGs.
The only thing that does not work properly is special character conversion.
Quotes, triple dots (which Calc automatically 'corrects' when typing three dots), and many others are converted to an รข character with some spaces (also see screenhots).

How does the copy-paste feature transforms the paste into an SVG? Is it part of the core or is it using some plugin, library, or utility for it such as uniconv? I believe Mint 21.3 and LibreOffice use unoconv instead? Changing this in the external application settings did not change anything for me.
Steps To Reproduce1. Copy cells from LibreOffice Calc
2. Paste into Scribus

Expect: All characters to convert properly to paths
Actual: Many characters dont convert properly to paths (see screenshots)
Additional InformationBonus: I can also paste cells into a text area and it weirdly works but behaves like one character. Looks like a feature and sounds like a bug :). See screenshot as well.
