Degree sign is well displayed when setting utf8 encoding, except for the mouse reading that is displayed at the bottom left corner: there, it always reads °
If you are talking about the x11 terminal, I think it's hopeless. Years ago it was possible to get x11 to display characters from multi-byte encodings by choosing one or more x11 fonts with a non-ascii encoding and telling the terminal driver to use multibyte support. Unfortunately the distros I use seem to have dropped the specifc fonts and x11 settings I used to have working. Probably no one cares about x11 any more because the world has moved on to much fancier GUIs that don't require jumping through hoops to print unicode characters.
For what it's worth, which is probably not much, I used to be able to use:
set term x11 font "mbfont:sazanami mincho,vera,20"
That doesn't work on my linux machines any more, even though I still have the fonts.

Just replace bgiu by b * giu and bsu by b * su (at the end of that same line) ... it looks like the editor replaced the original * by the italica writing of what followed.

It thus depend on the terminal and on the O/S (for some reason, your gnuplot plots integer values for y... maybe with set decimalsign ',' above (instead of set decimalsign locale you should get it right; but anyway, that's irrelevant for the mouse reading). Then I guess it is indeed a bug: as you see, the ylabel is well displayed: °C/h; it's only the mouse reading that does not display it well.

O/S? Terminal type?

Cygwin's gnuolot are provied with the X11 multibyte patch.
I do not know that this will fix your issue because I do not use the X11 terminal.
O/S is windows and terminal type, wxt
Please sumit scripts or command and operations to reproduce the phenoma.

I could not reproduce because you did not provide 2022-MaxMin.txt.
Please submit it as an attachment.
BTW,
you can check those using "stats" command.

I executed your script and got messages.

When you describe code, you should better to use code fileld not to use boby text. * has a special meaning on body text.
Screenshot is attached
One of the mouse reading is follows
On cygwin and ubuntu on wxt, the mouse reading is like

Unfortunately qt terminal seems not to have background option.
