What I see is problems editing UTF-8 text (which is a known limitation).

For anything complicated in a textarea, I'd assume you would
use an external editor, e.g., using ^X-e.  Are you doing that?

(If lynx is mishanding text from an external editor, that's a
different issue which can be fixed a little easier than by
rewriting the input code).
