Please consult with the documentation. It is covered by Lynx User Guide 
RE: internationalization, 8bit, unicodes etc. 
and links from that place. 
 
the first two optional and generally unused,  the (C) - really important. 
 
In would be more comfortable IMHO to use new forms-based option menu 
(you probably disable it) for this kind of job: 
reading docs/ trying different display charsets/ test / etc. until success.

Please, consult WHICH documentation? I have loaded down all 
kinds of lynx FAQs, user guides. This was not among the answers I 
seek. How do I enable the new option menu which I have seen 
in one of the docs I downloaded? 
Which URL-doc addresses international character handling in 
lynx the best? Especially the (C) choices?
