Has you include the "set encoding utf8" before the set term?

set encoding utf8
set term epscairo
set output 'mini-utf8.eps'
set xlabel "x"
set ylabel "{/:Italic {i \U+221A\U+03C4}}"
set arrow 1 from screen 0.0145,0.56 rto screen 0.0,0.025 nohead
plot x*sqrt(x) w p pt 7
set out



> Is there any way I can use LaTeX notation?

Yes.

set ylabel '$i \sqrt{\tau}$'
set out 'mini-eps.tex'
set terminal cairolatex eps input
plot x*sqrt(x) w p pt 7
set out

After this you have two files in your directory.
mini-eps.tex and mini-eps.eps

you must include the .tex file in your LaTeX file.

\input{./mini-eps.tex}
