I am using Simplified Chinese version of win2k and I put the following lines in my ~/.Xdefaults:
[code]
rxvt*font: fixedsys
rxvt*boldFont: fixedsys
rxvt*mfont: fixedsys
rxvt*multibyte_cursor:True
rxvt*multichar_encoding:big5
[/code]
then the rxvt windows shipped with cygwin can display Chinese characters correctly (just as notepad.exe).

However, if I change the rxvt*multichar_encoding line to gb, it cannot display correct gb2312 characters.  It is confusing...
