I need to add that our iconv also don't support anything after //
forcing ports using GNU iconv:
        /*
         * Remove anything following a //, as these are options (like
         * //ignore, //translate, etc) and we just don't handle them.
         * This is for compatibility with software that uses these
         * blindly.
         */
//ignore is analogue of ICONV_SET_DISCARD_ILSEQ on.
