Screen shot of yast in screen in urxvt

After upgrading TW to version 20230828 (from some July version), urxvt  (from
rxvt-unicode) does not display things correctly in GNU screen.

To reproduce:

1. open urxvt terminal and in it...
2. run screen and in it...
3. run /for example /sbin/yast

the result is garbled display (see attachments).

But that is not the only case, even GCC error and warning messages are messed
up and sprinkled with "รข" characters all over the place.

My locale is:
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=


screen sets TERM to "screen-256color"
urxvt itself sets TERM to rxvt-unicode

xterm seems to work OK (with the limited capabilities it has).
