Most other special characters cannot be easily displayed in my browser. I get the digested form, and some messages use different character sets than others - and Mozilla autoguesses the character set as a third, in most cases. In one digest with links to the Hindi Wikipedia and a UTF-8 apostrophe, the default character set was Chinese Simplified.
Try setting your options for the mailing list so that the digest comes with MIME enabled. This is off by default in case of broken readers, but there's no reason that anybody should leave it off if they have a decent mail reader -- like Mozilla. Then if an individual message specifies its charset, your mail reader will know and won't have to guess.
No guarantees that this will work, but try it.
