I was curious enough to build it myself on the Manjaro system. I now see what the problem is. I have a recommendation. The default configuration has CHARACTER_SET:iso-8859-1 simply changing the value in /etc/lynx.cfg to CHARACTER_SET:utf-8 resolves the issue. The thing is, in this day and age, the *right* encoding is UTF-8. But the builder of distro software generally has little time to tweek each package they build. The default configuraton should be UTF-8, if the system can handle it (which all modern systems do.) It would be much better for your configuration to detect UTF-8 support (however it needs to) and to set the CHARACTER_SET accordingly. Cheers!
