Maybe you should read it again and pay attention to:

"The LoadXML method always takes a Unicode BSTR that is encoded in UCS-2 or
UTF-16 only. If you pass in anything other than a valid Unicode BSTR to
LoadXML, it will fail to load."

No. MSXML assumes UTF-16 because that's the encoding used in COM strings.

Nodes aren't in any other encoding than the one used by the DOM (here:
UTF-16).

Please make sure you understand the difference between a DOM (an in-memory
object-model where strings are always encoded in UTF-16) and a particular
byte serialization (the XML "file").
