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