Absolutely. The 2nd byte of a big5 char could be '\','{','}'. Actually,
the 2nd type of a big5 char can be pretty much anything. :) So
it's better to escape any thing that could be a RTF char. This exist
in BIG5, GBK (an extension to GB2312). GB2312 has no such problem.

I saw a email from Dom said that the patch was commited. It should be
in cvs now. If word6 still does not import properly, it could be another
feature from MS. :)
