This is unlikely. When menus are enabled you can check the locale for a
given window by ctrl-middle-click, the locale is shown at the very bottom.

This is another good indication that your locale was not set to what you
think it is when starting urxvt:
Remember you have to set the locale when starting urxvt/urxvtc, not just for
the program running *inside* urxvt.

Most likely you have set the locale for your shell, but forgot to set the
locale for urxvt/urxvtc: when you open a second window *from the utf-8
enabled shell*, urxvt/urxvtc will get the correct locale.

The easiest fix is to start urxvt/urxvtc in the correct locale in the first
place.
