I suggest to take a look at mintty. http://code.google.com/p/mintty/ It's an official part part of the Cygwin distro and the latest version can always simply be updated to using the Cygwin installer at http://cygwin.com Mintty is an excellent replacement for the very old, very unsupported, and very not-UTF-8 capable rxvt.
