if the dump is fine, then it sounds as if you're talking about the interactive
display - I don't see any tildes in that (after setting the display
character set to UTF-8, of course).

lynx.cfg says

# ASSUME_CHARSET changes the handling of documents which do not 
# explicitly specify a charset.  Normally Lynx assumes that 8-bit 
# characters in those documents are encoded according to iso-8859-1 
# (the official default for the HTTP protocol).  When ASSUME_CHARSET 
# is defined here or by an -assume_charset command line flag is in effect, 
# Lynx will treat documents as if they were encoded accordingly. 
# See above on how this interacts with "raw mode" and the Display 
# Character Set. 
# ASSUME_CHARSET can also be changed via the 'o'ptions menu but will 
# not be saved as permanent value in user's .lynxrc file to avoid more chaos. 
# 
#ASSUME_CHARSET:iso-8859-1
