BitchX on urxvt: missing glyphs

BitchX doesn't support unicode. From my experience, the only encoding that works properly with BitchX is code page 850. And the only way to change urxvt's encoding is by setting the locale. So I generated "en_US.IBM850". It doesn't work very well in the tty, and urxvt complains that it isn't supported by Xlib and locales are disabled. So I'm thinking this isn't the way to go.

BitchX works fine in terminator, as long as I set the encoding to "Western IBM850" in the options. Is there a way to make urxvt behave like this, or any other way to make BitchX work in urxvt?

Thanks a lot!
