Me is currently moving to utf-8 and not doing too well, too. However
i stumbled over a file in the web that was explaining a little. this
might help you to:

http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/debian-utf8/howto.html

Event though gnuplot is not mentioned. There is a note about an utf-8
enabled version of xterm which you might give a try. ("uxterm")

Please share your experiences.

Thanks
