According to the documentation of iconv_open() over: http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/documentation/libiconv/iconv_open.3.html
"//TRANSLIT" means that when a character cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated through one or several characters.
and:
"//IGNORE" means that characters that cannot be represented in the target character set will be silently discarded.
But what is the default behavior, when neither are specified?
Thanks, Doori Bar
