Description
I am constantly in the need of opening files of different encodings.
When opening a 1252 file, micro will show unrecognized character symbols �
It would be insanely helpful if there was a command to change the encoding of the currently edited file or if the encoding was detected automatically.
I am using micro 2.0.3 on ubuntu 18.04.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating micro’s file-encoding handling, then clarify whether the desired outcome is an encoding-change command, automatic detection, or both; done would require agreed behavior and tests for files such as Windows-1252 input.
