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
