This callback function will be called by a codec when it encounters
unencodable characters/undecodable bytes and <em>name</em> is specified as the error

<p>The callback gets a single argument, an instance of

sequence of characters or bytes and their offset in the original string (see
<a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#unicodeexceptions"><span class="std std-ref">Unicode Exception Objects</span></a> for functions to extract this information). The
callback must either raise the given exception, or return a two-item tuple
containing the replacement for the problematic sequence, and an integer
giving the offset in the original string at which encoding/decoding should be
resumed.</p>
