You need to tell Ruby you=E2=80=99re talking in UTF-8 to it in the first pl=
ace.
I have -Ku in my $RUBYOPT environmental variable (you can also simply=20
$KCODE =3D 'u'
in your Ruby code) and I get the below:

>> shot@devielle:~$ irb
>> require 'iconv'
=3D> true
>> Iconv.iconv 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', 'UTF-8', '=C4=85=C4=87=C4=99=C5=82=C5=84=
=C3=B3=C5=9B=C5=BA=C5=BC'
=3D> ["acelnoszz"]
