Hi,
Sigil reads it in to understand the encoding of the file upon input but does not display that encoding in Code View. I don't think it wants you to edit the encoding in Code View as it is determined by Sigil itself. When Sigil saves the file in an epub, it does add the appropriate encoding info.
To see this, edit a new file in Sigil, save it as an epub, and then change the name of the file from .epub to .zip and then open the zip archive. Look inside the extracted zip to find the actual .xhtml files. Use any text editor to examine the files themselves. You should see the encoding properly included.
Hope this makes things clearer.
