It's a configuration detail - assuming that lynx is compiled with ncursesw,
(the wide-character library), then in the options menu you should have
	locale-based character set = ON
	display character set = UNICODE (UTF-8)

(if the first isn't set, lynx will ignore your locale).

If lynx's not using the wide-character library, that copyright symbol gets
interpreted as a "meta" character, and displayed in that form:

	Copyright symbol is 0xA9.
	")" is 0x29.
	The difference is 0x80 (128).
