In what way doesn't it run "perfectly"?

urxvt respects your settings. If you configure urxvt in another locale, urxvt
will work. This is corretc behaviour as applications suually also respect the
current locale.
It is much better to just configure the corretc locale than to force every
program into a different mode separately.

That means your X11 installation doesn't support the configured
locale. You should configure a valid locale to get rid of this, or teach
your X11 install about the locale you are using.

That has nothing to do with urxvt - likely, your shell isn't capable of
utf-8, or, most likely, you have confgiured the wrong locale.
The comment above about just configuring your system corretcly applies
here as well - do not try to force every application into a nonstandard
mode, get your locale right, and everythign will just work.

Ignoring the locale settings is hardly to be called "perfectly".

No, you just have to run your applications in an utf-8 locale, if you want
utf-8, it's that simple.
urxvt supports every locale your system supports, so if you tell it to use
e.g. latin9, it will use that. Trying to force each app seperately is only
ending in the frustration you describe, just configure your system to use
utf-8, when you want utf-8.
Your problems really have nothing to do with urxvt, just a badly
misconfigured system.
