I am working on a project where users can code things and save them as a code, to be pasted in later and loaded by other users. Users can print anything to the screen using code, and I'm not sure if the code can be encoded, so it's unreadable. What I'm mainly worried about is people putting bad language in there, and it bypasses the filter because it's encoded.

Is it ok to encode it, or not because of filter evasion and one unpleasant surprise for any users of the code?

edit: sorry this is not clear at all

if you’re making a chat project (I had a stroke reading the OP and died) that’s not allowed

Is there a technical reason to encode it? I think it's better to just let the user copy the plain text. But I don't believe encoding is against the rules – save codes for drawing projects, for example, don't look like the picture they represent either.

No, it's not a chat project.
(I actually learned this the hard way, I should have read more carefully)

This probably isn't too much of an issue, as the post or comment with the inappropriate save code can be reported for having an inappropriate save code.
