SIFR-ENCODING-0803: Encoding error handler must be statically known. - Sifr

SIFR-ENCODING-0803 belongs to the Text encoding diagnostic family. It means: encoding error handler must be statically known.

Why It Happens

Text conversion behavior must be known at compile time. Use a supported, statically known encoding or error handler.

Use sifr --explain SIFR-ENCODING-0803 locally to see the renderer’s exact message template and any machine-applicable suggestions for the compiler version you are running.

Erroneous Code

text = decode(data, "utf-8", handler_name)

How To Fix It

Use a statically known encoding error handler so text conversion remains predictable.

Fixed Code

text = decode(data, "utf-8", "strict")
