Even worse, if I have that comment in the file and try to switch the

That might be an error in some underlying KF5 framework or even in Qt5.
Switching the encoding as you call it apparently triggers a conversion of the textfile, NOT just how the file's individual bytes are interpreted.
I could live with that, since I don't have a reason to change the
encoding. However, the modeline just doesn't work. Kate tells me it *is*
using the encoding I specified, but it reality it doesn't. Characters of
that encoding still show up as squares.
