Well, EUC-JP string "2025\xc7\xaf" are printed correctly for set encoding locale, set encoding "EUC_JP", and without "set encoding" command. The compound string of EUC-JP character and "\U+xxxx" are also printed correctly for the same situation. Thank you.

I tested current git version. Then the script all.dem stopped at the command "test palette" in pm3d.dem. gnuplot> set encoding EUC_JP ^ line 68: unrecognized encoding specification; see 'help encoding'. I tested on wxt terminal, then the same message appeared for the case "set encoding locale": gnuplot> set encoding default gnuplot> test palette # no problem gnuplot> set encoding locale gnuplot> test palette gnuplot> set encoding EUC_JP ^ line 68: unrecognized encoding specification; see 'help encoding'....

The current gnuplot seems to permit the \U+xxxx sequence only for S_ENC_UTF8. I agree that we can not use \U+xxxx for S_ENC_EUCJP. Because EUC-JP table include greek alphabets and some simple symbols, we cant put them directly. The user which wants to use any special character not in EUC-JP table may use "set encoding utf8" and UTF-8 script. Well, I found the function strlen_sjis() for gp_strlen() in encoding.c, so the function strlen_eucjp() may be need for S_ENC_EUCJP. Standard EUC-JP is 8bit 2byte...

Thanks for your sooner reply and adding S_ENC_EUCJP. I tested modified code for the script set term wxt set encoding # set encoding locale # set encode default set title "2025[\xc7\xaf]" plot x They do not display japanese title correctly, and in the case "set encoding locale" gnuplot says warning: Error converting locale "ja_JP.eucJP" to codepage number Only in the case set encoding "EUC_JP" gnuplot displays the Japanese string correctly, because the name "EUC_JP" is added in encoding_names[] of...

I found some points in docs/gnuplot.doc of git version at 2025-07-22, which may be typo.
