I'm okay with the current feature set:

 - most japanese pages work in kterm (note that my lynx is
   still English, and neither locale nor gettext/nls support
   exists in the operating environment)
 - some work if I set both lynx and kterm to display character
   set Shift-JIS (lynx seems to not convert between them)
 - utf-8 pages don't work in kterm (no conversion)
 - utf-8 pages still look more than weird in uxterm
   (screenshot on request)

What would be nice is if 2-4 could be fixed as well.
As for the conversion: you're already converting well
between ASCII approximations of chars (Ü -> Ue, € -> EUR
and others), can't we do that with japanese stuff as
well? The tables required should be to find in eg. iconv
or the big unicode.txt file; the code 'seems' to be
there (else I would see garbage when viewing the
latin1/latin2 test pages in kterm).
