Are you sure that both extensions are installed and working? Check
horde/test.php?mode=phpinfo and run the build tests in the php source tree:

export TEST_PHP_EXECUTABLE=./sapi/cli/php
./sapi/cli/php run-tests.php ext/mbstring/
./sapi/cli/php run-tests.php ext/iconv/

The question marks appear if one of the extensions can't convert these
characters to the specified charset but don't raise an error. I was never
able to reproduce this with the latest code, so you are a bit on your own
here.
