From documentation on export.

        The Export utility always exports user data, including
        Unicode data, in the character sets of the Export
        server. The character sets are specified at database
        creation.

        The Import utility automatically converts the data to the
        character sets of the Import server.

        Some 8-bit characters can be lost (that is, converted to
        7-bit equivalents) when you import an 8-bit character set
        export file. This occurs if the client system has a
        native 7-bit character set or if the NLS_LANG operating
        system environment variable is set to a 7-bit character
        set. Most often, you notice that accented characters lose
        their accent mark.

So, check you NLS_LANG settings on the OS you are export to.
