You may we have invented that, but it doesn't work at all in the iconv
1.9.2 that's installed on my FreeBSD box :P
% echo "\xE3\x83\x9D" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//IGNORE,TRANSLIT
iconv: conversion to ASCII//IGNORE,TRANSLIT unsupported
% echo "\xE3\x83\x9D" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT,IGNORE
iconv: conversion to ASCII//TRANSLIT,IGNORE unsupported
% echo "\xE3\x83\x9D" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE
iconv: conversion to ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE unsupported
% echo "\xE3\x83\x9D" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//IGNORE//TRANSLIT
(nothing: that's correct)
And, on the Fedora box, it doesn't really seem to matter, IGNORE seems
to be ignored anyway:
% echo "\xE3\x83\x9D" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//IGNORE,TRANSLIT
?
% echo "\xE3\x83\x9D" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT,IGNORE
?
% echo "\xE3\x83\x9D" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//TRANSLIT
?
% echo "\xE3\x83\x9D" | iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII//IGNORE
iconv: illegal input sequence at position 4
Anyway, this evening I'll go and do some RTFS, which is of course the
only real way to have a real answer about behavior in software :P
