\odot (latex), print and paste ☉ everywhere, and gnuplot?

[edoard...@gmail.com]

hi guys. I read all of guides on the net maybe and I wasn't benn able to put this symbol ☉ (sun, circle dot operator) in an axis label. Please, help me. I need it in a eps file or pfd file because after i'm going to import it in a latex file. I don't want to use a tex terminal in gnuplot. Please don't explain me how do it, but write here only codes i've to write on terminal. I just tried utf8 encoding, enhanced, pdfcairo.....etc.etc. Thank you very very very very very much if you solve this problem for me.

I used unicode U+2609 SUN for the x label
and unicode U+2299 CIRCLED DOT OPERATOR for the x2 label

Of course you want to use a pdf or png terminal rather than the
dumb terminal. (*.eps will not work because PostScript does
not support utf8 encoding).

term epscairo works with utf8. No Problem with

set encoding utf8
set xlabel "Suns ☉☉☉☉"
set x2label "Circle Dots ⊙⊙⊙⊙"
set out 'test-utf8.eps'
set term epscairo
plot sin(x)
set out
