1: try utf8_encode instead of iconv
2: check the headers being sent and that they include:
"Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"
as this normally overwrites and choice you make in html.

a good way of debugging this is to view the page in firefox and see menu
option "View -> Charecter Encoding -> xxxx"; the one presently selected
is generally the pages "real" encoding, and you can flick between
iso-8859-1 / utf-8 to see which one "fixes" your problem (then change
headers accordingly).

regards!
