It is shown like that because it has been encoded like that :-)
Seriously, the above character results in broken UTF-8 sequence and either
your mail client or yahoo server somehow misinterprets it. You can confirm
whether it is the problem with your mailer, by sending the mail to some
server other than yahoogroups, and read the message. If it shows the
character properly on some other server then it is most probably the
problem with yahoogroups  server.

For any browser to correctly interpret the UTF-8 sequence it is required
that you encode that information in your html page. You must set
"charset=UTF-8" in meta tag of you html page in the <head> section. For
example,

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
