`errors='ignore'` tells the `encode()` method to simply skip any characters that cannot be encoded. This can lead to data loss if the characters are important. Use this option cautiously, as it will discard potentially valuable information. It's useful when you are certain that the characters are not needed or are not significant to the overall data.
