Does not support unicode!

[elsampsa]

This python module is problematic if you want to make rtf documents with other characters than ascii. There is no unicode support.

Hello, I have fixed this in my version on pyRTF, available at https://github.com/lowmanio/pyrtf

Turns out your implementation is badly broken: try to escape "🙊" with your function. It will return a nice chinese character instead of an emoji.
