  | Instead, it got converted to C383C2A9.  I'm not sure why.

printf '\xc3\xa9' | iconv ... (as above)

Clearly it was converted again.  Why that happens I have no idea,
something not updating the current encoding when it should be
perhaps.  Or just forgetting the conversion already happened, and
converting the already converted text whenit shouldn't.
