Details:

Plotting UTF-8 characters to gnuplot get's these treated as being iso8859-1,
which is not right.
http://www.gnuplot.info/faq/faq.html#SECTION00091000000000000000 suggests
that in gnuplot this command 'set term x11 font "mbfont:sazanami"' should be
used, but there is no way to run this from octave.

Try this from octave:
plot(1)
title("Jõulud möödumas, lapsed hüüdmas, Δt = 21°C")
