[Bug]: Different output upon decoding invalid utf-8

[vytas7]

Describe the bug

Not sure whether it is a bug or just a different behaviour.
Not critical either way, but thought filing it for reference anyway.

• When decoding invalid UTF-8 with errors='replace', CPython (and PyPy for that matter) decodes every invalid byte as �.
• GraalPy, OTOH, treats invalid UTF-8 triplets as one character.

Expected behavior

To match CPython unless there is a good reason not to.
