I can probably find a set of code-pages that correctly translate the two
byte UTF-8 "ü" character to a one byte EBCDIC "ü" character, but how would
those same two code-pages translate the Polish "ł", the Danish "ø", the
Baltic "ė", and the Greek "Θ", which appear in the same PC-side file to one
single character... And back to the correct UTF-8 character...
That makes the problem maybe more understandable?
If SBCS is a requirement, then if there is an EBCDIC SBCS code page that
contains "ü", "ł", "ø", "ė", and "Θ", iconv can probably translate UTF-8 to
that code page. Otherwise, you're SOL.
That's why I'm now using the code that I posted. It works, assuming the UTF-8
data is correct. If that isn't the case, then I'm SOL, and the users get what
they deserve, GIGO! ;)
