Comment:

 The problem is mostly with WordPress not properly converting utf-8
 filenames to an ASCII version.

 See #WP22363, #WP15955.

 We can wait for WordPress to fix this or we can put in a temporary fix.

 `iconv.patch` will try to convert any utf-8 characters in the filename to
 their ASCII equivalent.  This should fix the immediate issue with our
 uploader class, but relies on `iconv`.

 A better method would be using URLify against our filenames:
 https://github.com/jbroadway/urlify

 But that will require adding another external library.
