I have used Smile to do the same conversion. I just write the result to a
file. When it's opened on a Windows computer it is understood correctly
there. There's no signal in the text file to indicate what the encoding is,
so each system just assumes its own default encoding. It's just TEXT. So on
Windows, it's interpreted as Windows-1252, and looks how you intended; and
on the Mac it's assumed to be MacRoman, and you'll see some funny
characters, as you should.
