You can do the same thing to the rest of the special characters in the string.
You said you wanted this string:
eol:¶,tab:\|,trail:•,extends:»,precedes:«,nbsp:×
So you could use:
let
&listchars="eol:\u00b6,tab:|,trail:\u2022,extends:\u00bb,precedes:\u00ab,nbsp:\u00d7"
There I replaced each special character with the corresponding codepoint and
your .vimrc can actually be encoded in Latin1 or some similar default encoding
if needed.
Side note, to generate this I took your desired string, added a trailing comma
to simplify the regex, and did this:
:s#:\(.\),#\=':\u'.printf('%04x', char2nr(submatch(1))).','#g
