Help me choose the conversion "Marina → Marina" with iconv+php

Question

PHP

I can't figure out if the conversion from which encoding to which will give the result "Marina" at the output. One of the decoders claims that he did it by converting CP1252 → CP1251. In accordance with this hint, I write the code:

$text = 'Ìàðèíà'; echo iconv("windows-1252", "windows-1251", $text);

But the output is an empty string. Please help me solve this puzzle.

Answer 1

The file itself is utf-8 encoded

header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=windows-1251');
$text = 'Ìàðèíà';
$text = iconv("utf-8", "windows-1252", $text);
echo $text;

Answer 2

Answer 3

преобразование «Ìàðèíà → Марина»

define('Ìàðèíà', 'Марина');

Answer 4

Sorry for offtopic.
A much more interesting transformation would be the "Valera → Marina" transformation.
With further use for its intended purpose xD

Answer 5

echo iconv('cp1251','utf-8', iconv('',"latin1", 'Natural'));
