Hello,
I am trying to convert french characters into latin ones using inconv
but I face some problems.
Here is what I am doing in ruby console:
$KCODE = ‘u’
=> “u”@x = ‘x éèçà x’
=> “x éèçà x”Iconv.new(‘US-ASCII//TRANSLIT’, ‘utf-8’).iconv @x
=> “x ??? x”
And I expect “x eeca x” as output.
ruby --version returns:
ruby 1.8.2 (2005-04-11) [i386-linux]
iconv --version returns:
iconv (GNU libiconv 1.11)
