Lynx needs at least three things:

a) built using wide-character curses.  You can see what it is built with
using "lynx -version".  For example

~ (101) lynx -version
Lynx Version 2.8.8dev.6 (04 Oct 2010)
libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, GNUTLS 2.8.6, ncurses 5.7.20100703(wide)
Built on linux-gnu Nov  1 2010 17:43:48

See http://lynx.isc.org/ and the online help for more information.

b) locale with UTF-8 encoding.  For example, the "locale" command
would show the encoding as part of the names:

~ (1) locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

c) run it in a terminal emulator that displays UTF-8
