Technically speaking, it is not exported as a table since you put it as
part of example block.  However a quick test tells me, html export will
work fine (screenshot attached).  However LaTeX export is an entirely
different story.  Unicode support in normal pdflatex is quite
non-trivial.  If you use XeLaTeX, I think you could get it to work with
some appropriate choice of fonts.  I tried libertine and dejavu without
any luck.

Hope this helps,
