That seems better to me (I had too much C for breakfast, I think).

Using what encoding? If you knew that much, why didn't you use
(write, if necessary) an appropriate codec? I can't envision this
being useful.
OTOH, I could see using
replace_surrogate_escapes(s, replacement='�')
in HTML. (Actually, probably not; if it makes sense to use Unicode
features you're probably using Unicode as the external encoding, so a
character entity is silly. But there might be contexts with a useful
multicharacter replacements.)

Not None, that means default (which should be the Unicode standard
REPLACEMENT CHARACTER U+FFFD).
