Thank you for your fast answer!

PSpad is an lightweight editor that can edit SVG-files from 1MB-1GB, but I do
not know if there are any special Unicode-characters in the file (since I only
manipulate them marginally) and I would like to open svgs per default as UTF-8.

add unicode-character:
Since I am processing many svg-files (mostly UTF-8) on wikimedia-commons, which
should be reuploaded, changing content (f.e. add a comment) just because of a
very uncommon software-problem (Inkscape, Illustrator, notepad++, common
Browsers,... do no not have this problem) is undesirable.

PSPad recognises file-types (highlighting), therfore I would like to change
default coding according to the file-type. (SVGs are almost always UTF-8, even
old ones.)

If this is not implemented:
How can I change the default encoding for all files to open? (I do not want any
autodetection at all.)
