Don't know.

According to the 1.6 spec

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnrtfspec/html/rtfspec.asp

you can embed Unicode in the document by just escaping it.

You can use http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php to map
Shift_JIS to UTF-8.

If the RTF generator can't cope with the UTF-8 then I'd look at first
getting a UTF-8 encoded html page working and see if transforming it to
another format, say PDF, is acceptable to the client.

Or maybe with something like this

http://phpdocwriter.sourceforge.net/

and using openoffice programmatically to generate the final format?
