Here's improved @Vladislav Zalesak's answer:

public static string ConvertToRtf(string text)
{
    // using default template from wiki
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(@"{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1250\deff0{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss Helvetica;}\f0\pard ");
    foreach (char character in text)
    {
        if (character <= 0x7f)
        {
            // escaping rtf characters
            switch (character)
            {
                case '\\':
                case '{':
                case '}':
                    sb.Append('\\');
                    break;
                case '\r':
                    sb.Append("\\par");
                    break;
            }

            sb.Append(character);
        }
        // converting special characters
        else
        {
            sb.Append("\\u" + Convert.ToUInt32(character) + "?");
        }
    }
    sb.Append("}");
    return sb.ToString();
}
