iconv(1) is a general-purpose charset convertor.

For such html conversions, use a web browser.
$ echo 'אב...ת' |lynx -dump -stdin

A different approach is a simple sed script.
I once wrote a simple perl script for converting between different
Hebrew representations in LaTeX. You can find in the the 'util/'
subdirectory of the ivritex source distribution.
