How to fix a strange iconv problem on Mac Os x

Question

I am on Mac Os X 10.5 (but I reproduced the 10.4 issue)

I am trying to use iconv to convert a UTF-8 file to ASCII

Utf-8 file contains characters like 'éàç'

I want accented characters to turn into their closest ascii equivalent

So

my command :

iconv -f UTF-8 -t ASCII // TRANSLIT // IGNORE myutf8file.txt

which works fine on a Linux machine

but on my local Mac Os X I get this, for example:

=> 'e

à => `a

I really don't underestimate why iconv returns this strange output on mac os x, but everything is fine on linux

any help? or directions?

unaccent (, LATIN SMALL LETTER E, COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT), uconv :

$ unaccent utf-8<<<$'e\u0301'
