As I mentioned, I get different display in text areas using PDCurses
or SLang in the DOS port of lynx. I wasn't sure where the problem was.
I'll try to look at the SLang code, but it frequently treats DOS and
unix differently, so I am not sure how portable a solution will be.

With my terminal set to cp437, alt 135 give me "~^G" with SLang and
ISO 8859-1 letter 231 (latin small c with cedilla) with PDCurses when
in textedit mode locally.
