Summary
This is another small quality-of-life tweak while testing #15906.
It's possible for a test to output non-ASCII characters (for example, due to a hard fault or serial noise or memory corruption). Rather than crashing the test runner, backslash escape those characters and treat them as program output.
Refactors the string encoding step to a single helper to avoid copy-paste.
