iconv cannot convert your datas from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-2.

Don't forget that whatever you final document encoding is, the in-memory 
encoding that libxml2 uses is UTF-8. As a consequence all strings you 
give to libxml++ should be UTF-8 encoded.

So I suggest you check that you give UTF-8 strings to the API.
