[New-bugs-announce] [issue38056] Add examples for common text encoding Error Handlers

[Ma Lin]

New submission from Ma Lin <malincns at 163.com>:

Text descriptions about `Error Handlers` are not very friendly to novices.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/codecs.html#error-handlers

For example:

    'xmlcharrefreplace'
    Replace with the appropriate XML character reference (only for encoding).  Implemented in :func:`xmlcharrefreplace_errors`. 

    'backslashreplace'
    Replace with backslashed escape sequences. Implemented in :func:`backslashreplace_errors`.

    'namereplace'
    Replace with ``\N{...}`` escape sequences (only for encoding).  Implemented in :func:`namereplace_errors`.

Novices may not know what these are.
Giving some examples may help the reader to understand more intuitively.
The effect picture is attached.

I picked two characters:
