Why not the reverse:
os.fsencode(data).decode('utf-8', 'replace')
os.fsencode(data).decode('utf-8', 'ignore')
Note that "backslashreplace" needs to be enhanced to work when decoding too.
Note that "xmlcharrefreplace" doesn't make sense here: it encodes a *character*
reference, but you're precisely trying to represent something which fails
interpreting as a character.
(AFAIK, XML can't represent non-text data, except in NDATA sequences)
