Are u sure about the encoding of "a�ou� �" ?

because i did it with UTF-8, it works :

-- the script ----------------------------------------------------------
#! /usr/bin/env ruby

require "iconv"

i = Iconv.new("ASCII//TRANSLIT", "UTF-8")

p i.iconv("a�ou� �")
# => "a'eou\"i AE"

p i.iconv("a�ou� �").gsub(/[^a-zA-Z0-9 ]/, '')
# => "aeoui AE"

p i.iconv("�tre ou ne pas �tre, c'est la question. a�ou� �, wie hei� du
?").gsub(/[^a-zA-Z0-9' ]/, '').gsub(/[' ]/, '_').gsub(/(.*)_$/, '\1')
# => "Etre_ou_ne_pas_etre_c_est_la_question_a_eoui_AE_wie_heiss_du"

p i.iconv("�tre ou ne pas �tre, c'est la question. a�ou� �, wie hei�
du?").gsub(/[^a-zA-Z0-9' ]/, '').gsub(/[' ]/, '_').gsub(/(.*)_$/, '\1')
# => "Etre_ou_ne_pas_etre_c_est_la_question_a_eoui_AE_wie_heiss_du"
