When I open a file in Sublime Text 3, at the bottom I have an option to set the Character Encoding as shown in the screenshot.

setting encoding

There is the option to set it to UTF-8 , which after doing some research means UTF-8 Without BOM, but I want to set it to UTF-8 With BOM like shown below:

UTF-8 with BOM

How can I do this from within ST3?
