in reply to RTF'ing unicode

rtf2html can convert those to html entities. But I do not know whether anything can make another step and convert html to something else :-)

    It doesn't seem to for me. I get 

    <u>&#141;&#76;&#141;&#144;OE&#102;&#141;&#218;</u> - <u>f&#114;f&#87;f
+&#108;f&#88; f&#92;fSf...&#129;&#91;f&#86;f++f``</u><u> </u>S&#252;mf
+in special  !</body>

    [download]

    which is the html entity version of what rtf2text spits out:
    LOEfÚ - frfWflfX f\fSf...[fVf++f`` Sümfin special !

      Oh, you are right. I see a slightly different output: 
      <u>&#141;&#76;&#141;&#144;&#140;&#102;&#141;&#218;</u> - <u>&#131;&#11
+4;&#131;&#87;&#131;&#108;&#131;&#88; &#131;&#92;&#131;&#138;&#131;&#1
+33;&#129;&#91;&#131;&#86;&#131;&#135;&#131;&#147;</u><u> </u>S&#252;m
+fin special  !

      but it is probably not utf8 either. Why does the RTF header state it is cp 1252?

        I think that may be the default encoding for the text, but it shouldn't matter because the unicode sequences are declared with the various \u commands. That is the only way to include unicode in RTF, AFAIK.
