[Bug libc/2253] New: unicode combining accents can't be iconv-ed to latin (and others)

["samuel dot thibault at ens-lyon dot org" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Hi,

Converting unicode text containing combining accents doesn't work, for instance e<U+0301> into latin1 fails:

$ wget http://dept-info.labri.fr/~thibault/e-combining-acute
$ locale charmap
UTF-8
$ cat e-combining-acute
blip
$ iconv -f utf-8 -t latin1 < e-combining-acute
eiconv: illegal input sequence at position 1

iconv should rather combine 'e' and the combining accent, so as to produce é.

Regards,
Samuel
