I have got the same problem and today I've found its reason: mrxvt 0.5.4
started calling nl_langinfo(CODESET) for determining the character set
from environment. However it fails to properly display the characters,
what can be reproduced even with mrxvt 0.5.3, when called like
`mrxvt -km ISO8859-15'.

The workaround for the problem is quite simple: all you need is to pass
`-km NOENC' option to it or set `Mrxvt.multichar_encoding: NOENC' in
your /etc/mrxvt/mrxvtrc file.

robert
