Please keep in mind that iconv is not your magic stick by which you can convert anything to your
desired encoding sheme.
Even if there is encoding declaration for text you're about to manipulate in PHP, there is
always chances that there are some characters or character sequences that are in wrong encoding
scheme and despite that your browser (for example) is displaying text to you properly.
These are situations with so-called mixed encoding. You have to:
detect current encoding for your string,
repair broken encoding sheme (here I'm struggling with different methods and third-party
libraries such as forceutf8 on GitHub),
and in last step you can hope to good conversion results.
