The problem is that the RTF's included codepage is ignored and all the hex bytes for text are converted one at the time. However, codepage 936 (chinese charset) requires two bytes per character (double byte character set, DBCS). Moreover, any code page defined in the RTF header should be honored when parsing user text.
