php-doc-en/reference/unicode/functions/unicode-encode.xml
Nick Berard 10b70d7572 After discussing this with Derick, we came to the conclusion that it would
be better to rename the 'flags' parameter to 'errormode'. If flags are
needed in the future, another parameter will be added. The prototypes of
the functions in php-src/ext/unicode/unicode.c have not yet been changed
to reflect this.

Conversion error mode. This parameter determines the action to take when
the converter cannot convert a character. For a list of available modes,
refer to <function>unicode_set_error_mode</function>. If the parameter
is not set, the global error mode is used.
