# Static encoding_rs::REPLACEMENT [−] [src]

    pub static REPLACEMENT: &'static Encoding

The replacement encoding.

This decode-only encoding decodes all non-zero-length streams to a single REPLACEMENT CHARACTER. Its purpose is to avoid the use of an ASCII-compatible fallback encoding (typically windows-1252) for some encodings that are no longer supported by the Web Platform and that would be dangerous to treat as ASCII-compatible.

There is no corresponding encoder. The output encoding of this encoding is UTF-8.

This encoding does not have a Windows code page number.

This will change from `static` to `const` if Rust changes to make the referent of `pub const FOO: &'static Encoding` unique cross-crate, so don’t take the address of this `static`.
