RichTextBox Rtf property wrong converting non ascii chars

See original GitHub issue

.NET Core Version: 3.1.2
Have you experienced this same bug with .NET Framework?: No

Problem description: After assigning to richTextBox.Rtf some rtf code with nonbreaking space (160 char code), RichTextBox converts it to \'c2\~ insted of \~. Snipaste_2020-04-02_15-01-27

Due to the fact that, number formatting like :N using nonbreaking space for thousand separators (in appropriate cultures) this lead to huge problems 😦(((

Expected behavior: Nonbreaking space must be properly converted to \~.

Windows 7 x64.

Minimal repro: WinFormsCoreTest2.zip
