title: Why is iconv in Linux not converting spanish char in UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 correctly
body: <p>In Linux, I am converting <code>UTF-8</code> to <code>ISO-8859-1</code> file using the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT input.txt &gt; out.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>After conversion, when I open the <code>out.txt</code></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>¿Quién Gómez is translated to ¿Quien Gomez.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Why are <code>é</code> and <code>ó</code> and others not translated correctly?  </p>
