Iconv actually agrees that this UTF-8 character cannot be
converted to ISO8859-1.

I can print UTF-8's 0x00EF which gives "ï".

Then if I manually input "ï", the bytes in UTF-8 to do that are
0xC3AF, and this can be converted to ISO8859-1 (it is 0xEF).

Isn't there a problem with your UTF-8 data containing 0x00EF?
