This is the wrong list for that, as urxvt simply displays what
applications tell it to, so you need to find out which application you are
using (e.g. bash or another shell) and ask them.

Because it is 6 separate characters - the terminal does not do cursor
movements in response to keypresses.

Ah, so it's vim - then you need to ask the vim maintainer or in a vim
forum about this.
As for the urxvt side of things, urxvt does not support bidi text layout
at the moment, so even if vim can be taught to emit these unicode codes
properly, urxvt will not display them.
Either your applciation (vim) does bidi on it's own, or you cna try to use
a bidi plugin for urxvt (there is at least one, I don't know how good it
is).
