It isn't hard to do your own experimentation:
- create a file with characters that must come from different Mac
codepages
- in the File|Save As dialog, look at the different file options
- save in native format; copy to a PC and see if the file opens directly
or requires conversion (in WinWord's Option dlg, make sure on the
General tab that the "Confirm conversion at Open" check box is selected)
- save in RTF; open the RTF file in a plain-text editor and look to see
how characters are represented and whether Unicode-related keywords are
used
- see if there are plain text UTF-8 or UTF-16 formats
