The tested executable is GNU C Library iconv 2.39; GNU libiconv is a separate implementation. Confirm which binary your PATH resolves before scripting a caption handoff.
iconv converts between encodings you name. It is not an encoding detector or subtitle validator, and discard options can silently drop unconvertible characters—check the exit status and a spot-read of the output file.
