Yes, I've done dumps to od -xc, and I agree - iconv is behaving correctly. Under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, passing multibyte characters from a database into RTF, then on into LibreOffice caused the unknown character symbol (�) in LibreOffice. Using "unix2dos < in.txt | iconv -f UTF-8 -t CP1252 > out.txt" fixed that, then - seemingly by getting pure latin-1 into the RTF file, as the RTF spec. requires.
Now, under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, it appears to cause the problem If I use this this transform, I get the unknown character symbol in the LO document, and if I leave it out, and put multibyte characters into the RTF, LibreOffice shows them correctly. So other things have changed, as well as ICONV, and I see other recent references to multibyte characters in RTF. And in any case, it's not really desirable to have non-ASCII latin-1 characters in a UTF8 environment. Thnk you for your care.
