Are u sure about the encoding of "añÐu¥Ë" ?

because i did it with UTF-8, it works :

-- the script ----------------------------------------------------------
#! /usr/bin/env ruby

require "iconv"

i = Iconv.new("ASCII//TRANSLIT", "UTF-8")

p i.iconv("añÐu¥Ë")
# => "a'eou\"i AE"

p i.iconv("añÐu¥Ë").gsub(/[^a-zA-Z0-9 ]/, '')
# => "aeoui AE"

p i.iconv("³Õre ou ne pas óÕre, c'est la question. añÐu¥Ë, wie hei¡¬ du
?").gsub(/[^a-zA-Z0-9' ]/, '').gsub(/[' ]/, '_').gsub(/(.*)_$/, '\1')
# => "Etre_ou_ne_pas_etre_c_est_la_question_a_eoui_AE_wie_heiss_du"

p i.iconv("³Õre ou ne pas óÕre, c'est la question. añÐu¥Ë, wie hei¡¬
du?").gsub(/[^a-zA-Z0-9' ]/, '').gsub(/[' ]/, '_').gsub(/(.*)_$/, '\1')
# => "Etre_ou_ne_pas_etre_c_est_la_question_a_eoui_AE_wie_heiss_du"
