Comment:

 The file is already UTF-8 encoded. Whatever problem you are having appears
 to be a limitation of your tools not actually being able to cope with
 UTF-8 encoding properly.

 {{{
 $ file gestures.c
 gestures.c: UTF-8 Unicode C program text
 $ LC_ALL=C iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-8 < gestures.c > /dev/null && echo valid
 utf-8
 valid utf-8
 }}}

 The error you get trying to encode as latin1 is because the characters in
 question cannot be represented in latin1 encoding.

 Also from the pasted lines it looks like you either converted the file
 UTF-8 file "from" and corrupted it, or viewed it in an application that
 presumes latin1 encoding/does not support UTF8.
