#4157 — Version 5.2 patchlevel 6

Hi all.

Does anyone know how to get a degree sign (°) on svg enhanced terminal, 
output file.svg

I have

NT=temperature (a float, for use later, say 75.4456789)
dg=system("/usr/bin/printf \\\\0B00")
dg=" ".dg."C"

print dg here prints " °C"

nt=sprintf("%.1f",NT)
nt=nt.dg

print nt prints "75.4 °C"

However, after plotting to the output file, the ° sign disappears, even 
at the command line.

Thanks

Dear Chris!!!
Have you tried with  {/Symbol \260} ? I think it works well. 
And you may follow this link -----> http://ayapin-film.sakura.ne.jp/Gnuplot/Docs/ps_guide.pdf

With Regards!!!!

SVG is natively in UTF-8 encoding.
You should set gnuplot to match.
(Actually you should set gnuplot to use UTF8 always unless there
 is some special reason not to).

gnuplot> set encoding utf8
gnuplot> show decimal
        decimalsign for input is  . 
        decimalsign for output has default value (normally '.')
        degree sign for output is °

No, sorry. That won't work.
Symbol \260 assumes the encoding is Adobe Special Symbol,
which is basically only preferred for PostScript output.
I don't think you can get SVG to use that encoding.


	cheers

Oh, then at this point I don't know the solution of your query Chris.!!!
Thank you Ethan.

Thanks Ethan. I (now) have:

(I thought that Verdana might be causing a problem, so I put in the full 
path; and I've changed the definition of dg to
dg=" `/usr/bin/printf "\u00B0"`C")

gnuplot> load 'gpts/gnuplot_temp_24.gpt'
gnuplot> show term

    terminal type is svg size 1100,500 dynamic enhanced font 
'/usr/share/fonts/microsoft/verdana,12' butt dashlength 1.0

gnuplot> show encoding

         nominal character encoding is utf8
         however LC_CTYPE in current locale is en_GB.UTF-8

gnuplot> show decimal

         decimalsign for input is  .
         decimalsign for output has default value (normally '.')
         degree sign for output is °

gnuplot> print nt
74.7 ଀C
gnuplot> print NT
74.65
gnuplot> nt=sprintf("%.1f",NT)." `/usr/bin/printf "\u00B0"`C"
gnuplot> print nt
74.7 °C

So the degree sign somehow disappears during plotting.
On the plot that small square thing is there, too.
At least now I get something instead of nothing.
Is this a good thing?

But, how do I get the degree sign to stick? Or how do I set it in a 
format string? Or how do I print it?

Thanks
Cheers

I know I shouldn't reply to myself, but I just managed this:

set ylabel "Temperature (`/usr/bin/printf "\u00B0"`C)"
actually gives me:
Temperature (°C)
