Parsing an invalid encoding symbol raises an EncodingError.
It must be a SyntaxError.

The diff seems to conflict with refactoring changes that are missing in ruby_3_3. Could you file a backport PR to ruby_3_3 branch?

SyntaxErro isn't a descendant of StandardError and cannot be caught with rescue clause without explicit exception class specification. I won't backport this to 3.2 until any real world application suffered from this issue.
