--- Comment #15 from Bernard Moreton <[email protected]> ---
Strictly speaking, Mike (#14) is right, and RTF is designed as ANSI-compliant.
But the RTF manual lists \fcharset1 as "default", even though \fcharset0 is
listed as "ansi".  
As to "why" - some of us use RTF as an intermediate tool, even though that be
non-compliant, and I don't think any RTF-reader actually cares.
It can be convenient, for example, to use something like 'sed' to effect a
quick global change - and the "official" \ucN ... \uN is just too cumbersome.

So:  \fcharset0 is unnecessarily restrictive.  The "default" \fcharset1 should
be used for all western text, whether UTF or not.  It allows liberty, where the
current setting enforces antiquated restriction.
