This seemed to have solved the test I have set up, but for us, the issue

Are you sure your PHP script is saved as UTF-8? This works as expected
for me when it is, but fails similarly to your example when the PHP
script is in a single-byte encoding where ⬠is an invalid UTF-8
string, such as ISO-8859-15.

Description:
------------
This bug was discovered in libiconv 1.11
The //TRANSLIT property seems to be discarded. While passing this
property and
encountering characters as ⬠it handles as if you used the plain
variant on it.
See test case below, this is the example given in the PHP docs
(http://php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php)
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$text = "This is the Euro symbol 'â¬'.";
echo 'Original : ', $text, PHP_EOL;
echo 'TRANSLIT : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT", $text),
PHP_EOL;
echo 'IGNORE : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1//IGNORE", $text),
PHP_EOL;
echo 'Plain : ', iconv("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1", $text), PHP_EOL;
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Original : This is the Euro symbol 'â¬'.
TRANSLIT : This is the Euro symbol 'EUR'.
IGNORE : This is the Euro symbol ''.
Plain :
Notice: iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string in
.\iconv-
example.php on line 7
This is the Euro symbol '
(Example on http://php.net/manual/en/function.iconv.php)
Actual result:
--------------
Original : This is the Euro symbol 'â¬'.
TRANSLIT : Notice: iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input
string in
D:\Web\Webroot\test.php on line 6
This is the Euro symbol '
IGNORE : This is the Euro symbol ''.
Plain : Notice: iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string
in
D:\Web\Webroot\test.php on line 8
This is the Euro symbol '
