Transliteration with Iconv in Ruby

Question

When I\'m trying to transliterate a Cyrillic utf-8 string with

Iconv.iconv(\'ascii//ignore//translit\', \'utf-8\', string).to_s

(see questi

Answer 1

require 'iconv'
p Iconv.iconv('ascii//translit//ignore', 'utf-8',  'Gévry') #=> ["Gevry"]
# not         'ascii//ignore//translit'

For Cyrillic the translit gem might work.
