How to get tilde or approximation symbol in gnuplot legend?

Question

I want to use either a tilde (~) or an approximate character (in latex \ approx) in the legend of my gnuplot.

I am using epscairo terminal .

I tried to customize: set encoding iso_8859_1

or

set encoding to utf8

and using different commands like \ 176 as described here ( http://ayapin-film.sakura.ne.jp/Gnuplot/Docs/ps_guide.pdf ) but nothing seems to work.

Thanks in advance!:)

It seems like '\~'

or "\\~"

works for me for the tilde. "{/Symbol \273}"

produces ≈.
