lynx displays characters on the screen using curses (also slang actually, but
its notion of locale is not as well developed). lynx knows about a variety of
8-bit display character sets, and one special case for UTF-8. That case, if
configured with a curses implementation that knows how to handle multi-byte
characters, could in principle generate UTF-16. But that depends on the
curses implementation itself.
