Exotic european letters

This is a newbie question: what the hell do I have to do to put letter “Č” in fig.text?

fig.text(
    x=1,
    y=3,
    text="Čičinka",
)

It prints out "Ä " instead.

check this thread Printing letter C with caron

There I found only how to make č not capital Č. @!Cˇ leads to typographical abortion.

set PS_CHAR_ENCODING to ISO-8859-2 using pygmt.config and use octal character codes

This does the job. Thank you.
