Thank you for confirming Khalid. I actually never considered it may be
a core issue.
With respect to 'something in includes/unicode.php' affecting it, the
only real settings that are changed are:
// Set appropriate configuration
mb_internal_encoding('utf-8');
mb_language('uni');
As far as I can tell, none of the remainder of the code would affect
the operation of iconv() or mb_convert_encoding(), which also exhibits
the same behaviour as iconv() is showing once drupal is bootstrapped.
I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer in narrowing this
issue down, as this is a critical feature for our client.

Hi
all.
I am having a bit of a unique problem here, and I am hoping someone can
help me out.
In short, we are outputting strings from a custom module we wrote to an
external service that only accepts the ASCII character set. So, I am
trying to run all the strings through iconv() to convert them.
Here's the weird part. Take the script below:
$string = "Stéphanie,D Hérouville";
$output = iconv("UTF-8", 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $string);
print $output;
If I run this from the command line, I get the proper output -
'Stephanie D Herouville'. However, if I run it in my Drupal
installation, whether as part of a module or from the Devel 'Execute
PHP' box, I get different output: 'St?phanie D H?rouville'. That is,
instead of replacing the character with it's expected ASCII
counterpart, it replaces it with a ?.
Has anyone encountered this, or have any idea why this is happening?

I confirm what you are seeing:
If you have a file called ascii.php with this in it:
<?php
$string = "Stéphanie,D Hérouville";
$output = iconv("UTF-8", 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $string);
print $output . "\n";
?>
And run it as:
$ php ascii.php
The output is without the accented characters.
However, if you boot Drupal first, like so:
<?php
require_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
$string = "Stéphanie,D Hérouville";
$output = iconv("UTF-8", 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $string);
print $output . "\n";
?>
The output is with question marks, as you said.
I suspect something in includes/unicode.inc is causing this.
