I require Lynx to not do this, because I use Unicode excessively.
On the other hand, selecting a nōn-UTF8 charset might want to do
that… but the tables are apparently hand-generated and do not cover
full Unicode, only the obvious stuff related to most legacy charsets.
Covering all of Unicode is going to be a crazy job anyway…
(… although a downconversion from SMP to BMP unicode, for us users
of uxterm, would be welcome…)
