I can't say for Windows, but for Mac it's a known issue #76405.

In windows there was simlar task, but now is marked as resolved #68577

@mano-wii should your fix cover this case as well? If that is the case I guess this should be confirmed for windows platform?

I'm not sure if I understand the problem
But it is important to remember that the layout used to indicate the keymap buttons is always the US one.
So no matter what symbol the keyboard button has printed, Blender will always show a US keyboard symbol:

However, for text typed (in text fields) the conversion is always done.

Does this make sense and is it related to the reported problem?

Will edit description to make it windows specific and better understandable.
From what I understood and was able to reproduce is that grave accent key does not work with french keyboard layout.

This is related to the fact that the French layout has the AZERTY setting. No longer uses the previously shown image layout.
In this case, the grave accent corresponds to {key ²}, but Blender read as {key "}. I suppose it should read as {key `}?
Needs investigation.

Actually the problem is worse on Mac. On Mac the key {key ²} is not mapped, so Blender returns "unknown" making the key useless for shortcuts.
