Is there a way to type it in directly into the gnuplot-console? I can 
load it from a file but can not type it in directly.

If I load it from a file than "show xlabel" shows me the following:
xlabel is "ΔH_{f}^{⦵}"

If I copy only the U+29B5 sign and paste it into the console I get a 
"\U+FFE2\U+FFA6\U+FFB5" and "show xlabel" gives me xlabel is "".

"show encoding
nominal character encoding is utf8
however LC_CTYPE in current locale is de_DE.UTF-8"

What goes wrong? It is a Debian testing with KDE. I can copy the ⦵ into 
the Terminal (bash) but not into the gnuplot-console.

When I take a gnome-terminal and start gnuplot it is the same. I can 
make the ⦵ by "strg+shift+u 29B5" but it is directly convertet to a 
"\U+FFE2\U+FFA6\U+FFB5" and the xlabel is empty.
