It is not a LISTSERV problem.  The successful rendering of special characters,
accent marks, etc. for foreign languages depends first on the correct settings
for the writer's email program and secondly on similar (but not identical)
correct settings in the receiver's email program (which is usually different).
There is no universally accepted answer but MIME-Quoted-Printable character
encoding seems to be more frequently successful than 8-bit character encoding.
Your message was created using 8-bit encoding and your mail system converted
your document after it left your computer but before passing it on the internet
so this conversion probably 'ate' your missing character.

LISTSERV can pass either form correctly and unchanged but what other compnents
in the mail system do to alter the message between sending and receipt also
needs to be considered.  Also there is a difference between the ' (0x27) and
the ` (0x60) characters.
