It's ISO 5426 (probably -2). But iconv has to know how to deal with it - mine does not it appears.
This file: /usr/lib/nls/iconv/config.iconv
lists the character sets for your iconv, and shows aliases for many of them.
(it may be parked in another directory tree on your system, find will get it)
This is not much help, but it's all I know.
