β would be a nonprinting character:

        U+0946 is the Unicode hex value for ॆ, which represents the
        Devanagari Vowel Sign Short E.  This character is a nonspacing mark
        primarily used in the Devanagari script to produce the short 'e' sound
        (e.g., as part of the Marathi alphabet)

...and perhaps treated as a combining character by ncurses.

But if you want to report a possible regression in lynx,

a) version of lynx.

b) how it was built -- and if it's a package, packagers do have bug reporting

   If it's self-built, people do forget to configure with --enable-widec
   (not a bug).

c) how it's configured (including changes to lynx.cfg and/or what $LYNX_CFG
   points to)

d) locale settings
