-mutt 1.4.2i from stable grimoire. 
-set charset="utf-8" in .muttrc (please tell me what else you need, since
I barely touched this conf file I wouldn't know what is relevant or not.)
-TERM=rxvt-unicode
-COLORTERM=rxvt-xpm

locale returns that:
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=


What else do you need?

yeah I see. it's supposed to be a nice arrow like the one on the return
key.

hmm maybe some font issue?

I use the terminus font, here is the entry in my .Xdefaults:
Rxvt*font: xft:Terminus:style=Bold


Cheers,
Mathieu.
