iconv: cannot convert some strings from gb3212 to UTF-8

Question

Good day! I have a problem with converting this string in gb3212: "е – с" My actions:

[i.remen@win74 ~]$ iconv -f gb2312 -t utf-8 tst.txt
е iconv: illegal input sequence at position 3
[i.remen@win74 ~]$

I tried many different versions(both from separate iconv and as part of glibc). Is there any way to to this conversion?

"illegal input sequence" means *"that file ain't no gb2312"*. Can you show us a hex dump of the file/string in question? — deceze, Jun 27 '13 at 10:55
