It's because of the call to setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'C'); in _unicode_check() in includes/unicode.inc.
>From http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php#86077 I tried doing the following and it worked for me (very important to note setting back the original value to setlocale(). setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'fr_FR.utf8'); $string = "Stéphanie,D Hérouville"; $output = iconv("UTF-8", 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $string); print $output; setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'C'); I'm not sure which locale string you'd use in the first call to setlocale (I used French in this case) but you can get all the values on your system by running locale -a from the command line.
