I have a problem in rxvt, whenever i type a ' character I get a ` character
and whenever i type " I get ¨. This does not happen in xterm or konsole.
I hope someone can explain why this happens and how to fix this, Thanks in advance, Nick

I would assume it's a locale setting.... not sure on the exacts...

as phrakture says, it could be a locale setting,
I use urxvt and it uses LC_CTYPE
here is my ~/.bashrc
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[u@h W]€ '
export BROWSER='mozilla-firefox'
export LC_CTYPE='sv_SE.UTF-8'
export LANG='en_GB'
I don't remember in my head how to make a locale now but there are threads about localedef in the forum,
maybe we should make wiki about it,
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy

It could also be a $TERM problem: Make sure that $TERM is set to "rxvt" (which, sadly, doesn't happen by default).
I use my .Xdefaults file for such config stuff, for rxvt I have the following:
rxvt.termName: rxvt
rxvt.background: black
rxvt.foreground: white
rxvt.saveLines: 1000

I've changed those thing, but still unsuccesfull,
here's a few variables from my environment (executed within rxvt);
[nick@Nick ~]$ set |grep TERM
COLORTERM=rxvt
TERM=rxvt
[nick@Nick ~]$ set |grep LC
LC_ALL=nl_NL
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_CTYPE=en_GB
MAILCHECK=60
the inputdevice section from xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "logiinkse"
Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl"
EndSection
