Subject: Question about Ordinal Encoding with 'unknown' Values in Education Levels

Hello community,I have a dataset and I'm planning to perform ordinal encoding on certain columns, particularly on the education level column. The education levels include values like ['unknown', 'illiterate', 'basic.4y', 'basic.6y', 'basic.9y', 'high.school', 'professional.course', 'university.degree'].I'm wondering if it's feasible to apply ordinal encoding in this case, especially considering the presence of the 'unknown' value.I would appreciate any advice, insights, or recommendations on how to approach ordinal encoding in the context of education levels when dealing with unknown values.Thank you for your assistance!Best regards

I'm wondering if it's feasible to apply ordinal encoding in this case
