Iconv (Score:1)
Iconv can't transcode your data to US-ASCII since it contains octets greater than 0x7F. Your double encoded data has been transcoded from Latin-1 to UTF-8, in order to reverse it you need to transcode from UTF-8 to Latin-1.
Change:
Iconv.new( 'UTF-8', 'ASCII' )
To:
Iconv.new( 'LATIN1', 'UTF-8' )
and it should work just fine.
You can aslo narrow down your regexp to [\xc2-\xc3][\x80-\xbf], since UTF-8 encoded Latin-1 is within that range.
