Setting LANG in .profile is too late for bash itself, because that
will continue to operate in C.UTF-8. That will cause trouble when
entering non-ASCII characters on the command line, for example, try
typing an à or Ã.

Therefore you need to set it before bash is invoked, for example in
cygwin.bat if that's where you're invoking rxvt from.
