Your RTF parser should accept the token pair \uxxxx\'yy as one: these refer to
one
character, where the "xxxx" is the decimal value of the Unicode character, and
the
"yy" is the fallback character (approximation) in your current code page. In
this
case, you have 8776 = U+2248 (ALMOST EQUAL TO), and the approximation
is the TILDE. If you want to be accurate, take the Unicode value; if you only
want
a quick and dirty solution, use the fallback character.
