So normal Sublime editing normalizes all line endings to be the same, so showing a line ending glyph doesn't make sense in normal editing. Simply look down in the status bar and you will see whether line endings are Windows, Unix, or macOS.

In Sublime Text 2, you can use CTRL + SHIFT + P to access quickly to some functionalities. Type tabs and you will find the View: Toggle Tabs functionality.
The package RawLineEdit is pretty good for this. It toggles on-and-off a mode where you view and can edit line endings by selecting Raw Line Edit: Toggle from the Sublime ctrlshiftp command prompt.
This is good if you want to be able to flick line endings visibility on and off on the occasions when you want to see it (it's not the best option if you want line endings to be always visible).
It's also very useful for seeing (and editing) if you've ended up with crlf problems, with windows-style cr carriage return characters getting mixed up with the standard lf line end characters shown as ¬:
