Comment (by jmroot):
Linux systems also tend to use the iconv from glibc, rather than the
standalone libiconv package (which according to upstream is less efficient
and only really intended to be used on systems that don't have an `iconv`
that supports Unicode.) Maybe there are some code differences there.
The standards seem to be silent on what should happen when a character
can't be represented in the target character set. If you want fine control
over how transliteration is done, you might be better off using something
like recode?
