We should use the the "replace" error handler for the encode method.
Even if we know the target encoding, we have no guarantee at all that it
supports all the characters we need.  With "replace" we won't get an
exception and the user will see a "?" for characters that couldn't be
converted.  not ideal, but there's not much we can do about it.
