Subject: iconv problems with different machines

Hi,

I have the following piece of code:

ic = Iconv.new('US-ASCII//TRANSLIT', 'UTF-8')
puts ic.iconv("A端thor")

1. on my local machine (OSX 10.5) when I run this, I get the output:
A"uthor

2. when I run this same code on my debian server (via rake executed
through a capistrano task) I get the output: A?thor

3. when I run this same code on my debian server (via irb), I get:
Author

Both 1 and 3 are acceptable output to me, however I cant figure out how
to get my program to output the correct result on my server when I run
it through a capistrano task.  Is there some environment variable I need
to set?  From reading other posts, I've tried adding at the top of my
file:
$KCODE = "u"
require 'jcode'
ENV['LANG'] = 'en_US.UTF-8'
ENV['LC_CTYPE'] = 'en_US.UTF-8'

still doesn't fix the issue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ray
