From the rxvt website:
rxvt is a colour vt102 terminal emulator intended as an xterm(1)
replacement for users who do not require features such as Tektronix 4014
emulation and toolkit-style configurability. As a result, rxvt uses much
less swap space.
Therefore, rxvt is intended for X.
As you are running it, it does not support the line drawing character
sets.
This is not true. Please, take a look here:

I don't know what you're trying to tell me with this, but rxvt is an XTERM
replacement and is therefore intended to run under X.
But not the version distributed with cygwin. It has been significantly
modified from the (dead, no longer maintained) upstream version.
1) Basically you need to get the following font:
http://dessent.net/tmp/luconP.zip
This is correct. This is a recoded version of lucida console, with the
DOS lineart characters in the "original" location.
2) Set the TERM environment variable to rxvt-cygwin-native
3) Run rxvt like this:
rxvt -fn "Lucida ConsoleP-14" other-options-here
You may also need to add "-d :0" to the command line, to *force* native
mode.
When I tried this from a CMD window, rxvt still started under X.
On cygwin, rxvt is sensitive to TERM and also to DISPLAY. If your
DISPLAY (or the -d option) specifies :0 or is empty, then cygwin's rxvt
will operate in so-called "native" mode, which does not require an X
server and used Windows fonts. Otherwise, cygwin's rxvt will attempt to
contact the X server specified by DISPLAY (or the -d option).
Thus, DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0 != DISPLAY=:0
