Description

`RichTextBox` uses the latest RichEdit and as such should be able to remove the code paths where we're grabbing `Encoding` and converting back and forth from Unicode to ASCII. If we're using Unicode everywhere we can be more efficient and avoid conversion headaches.

See #3032 for an example of where this happens.
