Did you try? I know that iconv has quite extensive number of 
transliteration rules. Other option would be to use recode 
(https://packages.debian.org/sid/recode, 
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/recode/ or 
http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Recode)? It used to have a huge 
number of transliteration rules.

Best,
