I am also having the same problem, urxvt no longer renders any unicode
characters for me, I think after poking around a little it might have
something to do with a recent xorg upgrade. xlibs-data provides
/usr/lib/X11/locale/compose.dir which *might* mean something or it might
not but I really know nothing of how this file is actually used and
don't have enough to go on to file a proper bug.
I tried in my .zshrc to add:
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
but this didn't work, even though my env variables are correct the
characters are not translated so I am stumped as how to proceed now and
hope someone else has a solution :)
If it is a bug, it certainly should be reported
