Subject: Re: How does one transform UTF-8 encoded characters to ASCII

If I do an Iconv from windows-1252 to UTF-8 and
then I operate on my UTF-8 string to do something to it and
then I do an Iconv back to windows-1252 before I write to a file,

THEN

I should not have any need to place a BOM into the string correct?

The BOM is only to help applications understand that the encoding of the 
text is UTF-8, correct?
