Well, I read today Markus Kuhn's page on unicode.
Interesting.
If I understand it well I can have filenames with chinese characters in it.

What I have done now:  

kbd_mode -u in .bashrc 

and all settings of charsets etc. in lynx.cfg to utf-8

And that seems to work well.

And then the bookmarkfile: if I change it's characterset to utf-8, it
-looks- better, but bookmarking of a name with an accent looks weird.

Anyway, I understand that this conversion to utf is one big fight, you
have to break things to buid things.
