page 2 tells you a little bit more:
> (the "E" character set is accessed via an option on "set encoding")
and 'latin-1' is also called 'iso_8859_1'

page 1 tells you:
'/' is used for setting fonts
'\' is used for octal codes

the commands you need are:

set encoding iso_8859_1
set xlabel "Wavelength (\305)"

I would like to have the Angstroms symbol in gnuplot. I found this website :

http://www.physics.umanitoba.ca/~gillis/gnuplot/gnuplot_postscript.html

clicking on "ps_guide.ps" and scrolling on Page 2 tells me the following:

T = text (here Times-Roman) S = Symbol Z = ZapfDingbats E = ISO Latin-1 encoding

305 ¯ ⊕ ➅ Å

Now adding this like:

set xlabel "Wavelength ({/305})"

does not seem to work. How do I get it to work?

Would greatly appreciate your help!
