This is likely what is configured - gnome-terminal ignores your system
configuration (which sometimes might be what you want, sometimes now) but
urxvt correctly follows it.

Most likely you use a locale where these characters have
double-width. Using the correct locale might fix this.

It could be something else, too, like the program actually outputting
double-wide characters, but that would show up on other platforms too, then.

It is most likely because the locale you configured uses wide characters.
