I have not really looked into RTF or how it works but I did a small test. I created a new document in wordpad and added some characters using the character map tool. I studied the saved RTF document and it is all stored as regular ASCII text. It encodes characters outside the regular set.
how can i save the text format to the database?

It can be stored as text datatype. I am not sure about RTF if it is unicode, then you need to store it as ntext.

Unicode is a format to store characters that can not be represented by one byte and therefor has 2 bytes for each character.
