I think that's perhaps intended. If I remove the trailing grave in...

Ń N' 0143 0323 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH ACUTE `

... then the N letter becomes highlighted (with helpSpecial syntax group).
With the trailing `, the whole line has helpGraphic syntax group.

However, the trailing ` is not used consistently. For example, it does
not appear in...

ñ n? 0xf1 241 LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH TILDE

... where the N letter is highlighted.

I suppose that the trailing ` should be added to every lines in the
digraph table.

I also did not see any documentation for the trailing ` anywhere.
I think it should be described in ":help help-writing".
