For what it's worth, my local environment is set to use C instead of
UTF-8, which is probably why things consistently work here.

I tried to set the locale environment in various ways to reproduce the
issue you saw, and I can't. IF gnuplot 5.4 has this issue with the x11
terminal (requiring the user to explicitly turn off unicode), then I
think we should fix it in some way.

But I can't reproduce the problem, so maybe there isn't anything to fix?
Can anybody else see this issue?
