How do I check what character encodings I need to be using, I assume which one the OpenVMS machine is really using, so that I can set my editor to use the same, and to make sure I upload files encoded correctly?

In my PuTTY session I seem to see the characters correctly when it works on OpenVMS, and errendous when they are errendous, using ISO-8859-1. Looking for alternatives I tried out Sublime text, which seems great, and does seem to show any file I throw at it correctly, but upon trying the available SFTP plugin the character encodings break. I also had issues with the encoding breaking at upload, regardless of settings in the FTP-plugin because of errendous encoding in the opened file. With a new computer I noticed that I could no longer get character encodings (Nordic characters) to show correctly in Npp without manually changing encoding in each file I pull and open.

I previously used Notepad++ and it's NppFTP plugin to browse, download and upload file to the OpenVMS-machine. I am a beginning software developer for OpenVMS on a Windows workstation.
