That almost certainly has nothing at all to do with gnuplot.  It's a 
problem with your keyboard mapping.

*Where* do those appear?  In the command shell, or later, in the plot?

Looks like your terminal's font isn't capable of displaying umlaut 
characters in the encoding chosen by your keyboard input method.

Partially.

"set encoding" only concerns the encoding of the plots, not that of your 
command line shell.  You'll have to fix your terminal first

If that includes running a binary distributed by them, you're asking the 
wrong people.  Bring this up with their package maintainer.
