You can't. Sigil will automatically save all text files as utf-8 files, except for files in the Misc folder.
BTW, even though the ePub 2.0.1 standard allows both utf-8 and utf-16 files, using utf-16 files will only blow up your files with no real benefits.
For example, the file size of your original ALPHABET.xhtml utf-16 file is 58KB while the file size of the same file saved as utf-8 is only 30KB. Since the default reading app of some older eInk readers can't handle chapter files larger than 300 KB you may want to keep all chapter files as small as possible.
(utf-16 is only beneficial for
CJK files and even those files are only about 30% smaller when encoded as utf-16 files.)
