urxvt can automatically select a suitable different font for glyphs
missing in the font specified for urxvt, which is a functions other
terminals seem to lack (no flame intended). So for dwm you'd need to
handpick a font containing these glyphs. Since urxvt does display these
characters, you evidently have a suitable font somewhere on your system.
