+The optional `options` object and its `mode` property can be used to set the error mode. The two available error modes are `'fatal'` (the default) or `'replacement'`. (Note: This differs from [the spec](https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#error-mode), which recognizes `'fatal`' and `html` modes for encoders. The reason behind this difference is that the spec algorithm is aimed at producing HTML, whereas this library encodes into an environment-agnostic `Uint16Array` of bytes.)
 
 ```js
 const encodedData = windows874.encode(text, {
-  mode: 'html'
+  mode: 'replacement'
 });
 // If `text` contains a symbol that cannot be represented in windows-874,
-// instead of throwing an error, it will return an HTML entity for the symbol.
