You can only use LaTeX markup for the various TeX terminals, not for
PostScript.

The ± symbol is octal \261 in the PostScript Symbol font.
All PostScript output devices should support this, as it is one of the
standard fonts.  See the gnuplot documentation for "enhanced text"
for examples of how to change fonts, use superscripts, etc.
