A little additional info: The "ASCII to ASCII" case for "Minnie=Mouse" is merely because the UTF-8 encoding for "Mouse" is the same as the ASCII encoding for "Mouse", and mb_detect_encoding is matching on ASCII before UTF-8. So that's not an issue.

But, the "UTF-8 to ASCII" case for "Minnie=Miñoso" is still (seemingly) screwy.

Going for "UTF-8 to ASCII" is not going to work. The ASCII to UTF-8 works because ASCII is contained within UTF8. But the reverse is not true. Not all of UTF-8 is contained within ASCII.

For example, the character (code-point) ñ does not appear in ASCII, so that doesn't work.
