On Monday, April 5th bugz was heard saying...
 Bu> Actually, I have a problem with the normal process, also.  My card door 
 Bu> game  is trying to use CP437 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06 (hearts, diamonds, 
 Bu> spades,  clubs).  But I'm thinking that "iconv" (or whatever is doing the 
 Bu> encoding)  ignores these as control codes.  [RATS!]

Shoot I should have pointed this out prior. Yes, this is a known issue. iconv doesn't make an attempt to convert some of the "control" characters in the CP437 table but instead spits out a placeholder. I have a ticket in with the author (it's a blocker for a game I'm working on) & will fork and PR to them when I get a chance if they don't fix it.
