Kate: can no longer change text encoding when saving a file.
It used to be possible in KDE 4, but it's no longer possible with the latest version:

Version 16.08.3
Using:
KDE Frameworks 5.29.0
Qt 5.6.2 (built against 5.6.2)

Kate

KDE's text editor.

Change text encoding when saving a file.
Find it in the menu entry:
File > Save as with encoding...

Find encoding of a file and re-encode file

file --mime file.txt outputs the mime information which includes the encoding.
