Encoded fields allow you to to shield data from FIX field parsers - the paired length field tells the parser how many bytes to consume from the encoded field without parsing. For example if the encoded data looks like FIX tags - 10=A^12=B^13=C^ (where ^ is hex 01) you can setup the fields as below and the receiving engine should handle the data without tripping over the reserved characters.
354=15^
355=10=A^12=B^13=C^^

You might take a look at our document posted elsewhere on the FIX website that describes how to embed an FpML document in the EncodedSecurityDescription field:
