Jens,

   Yes, I do. It turned out that COLORTERM was not the issue. Instead, the
issue was setting the locale.

   I would 'export LANG=en_US.UTF8' at the command line and in
~/.bash_profile (and ~/.bashrc, too, out of desparation) but it made no
difference. Each time I logged in LANG (and other environment variables
other than LC_COLLATION) returned to 'en_US'.

   A bit more Web searching lead me to the Slackware portion of
linuxquestions.org and that taught me there's /etc/profile.d/lang.sh. I
uncommented 'LANG=en_US.UTF8' there, logged out and then back in. Now the
UTF-8 test file properly displays and locale shows LANG=en_US.UTF8.

   It's interesting that they do not discuss rxvt/urxvt which is the terminal
I use. :-)

Thanks very much,
