I don't know what rdrview is, but it sounds like Lynx is feeding it the
UTF-8 version of an apostrophe (most likely U+2019) and it's interpreting
it wrongly.  I've no idea how that becomes "~B ~D".

You might be able to fix that with a lynx.cfg file that contains the
below two settings, but it might be better to see if you can make
rdrview UTF8-aware.

CHARACTER_SET:us-ascii
LOCALE_CHARSET:false
