How do I see the current encoding of a file in Sublime Text?

This seems like a pretty simple thing to do but searching has not yielded much. Any pointers would be appreciated!

Since this thread is a popular result in google search, here is the way to do it for sublime text 3 build 3059+: in user preferences, add the line:

"show_encoding": true

Another option in case you don't wanna use a plugin:

Ctrl+` or

View -> Show Console

type on the console the following command:

view.encoding()

In case you want to something more intrusive, there's a option to create an shortcut that executes the following command:

sublime.message_dialog(view.encoding())
