Thank you! From my first look at iconv, //IGNORE will make it unlossy;
anyway there would be no way to identify the unconverted characters (in
order to convert them to RTF Unicode syntax).
Meantime I found a solution using PEAR I18N_UnicodeString:
http://pear.php.net/package/I18N_UnicodeString
This gives me an array of the decimal Unicode representations of all
characters; so I can convert every character individually.
