Yes. It has the same meaning as in English, and can be used ironically 
but it's
not used often.

Yes, and neither there is transliteration for the rest of the Arabic 
alphabet
(this might be a separate bug): See

$ echo ع | LC_ALL=ar_AE.UTF-8 iconv -t ASCII//TRANSLIT iconv: illegal 
input
sequence at position 0

This needs to be dealt with separately.
