Display of UTF-8 Characters

I create a GString str = "A{Dagger}B{Sigma}C"; (i.e. "\x41\xE2\x80\xA0\x42\xCE\xA3\x43" where \xE2\x80\xA0 is Dagger and \xCE\xA3 is Sigma). The Dagger is the correct UTF-8 code (https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2020/index.htm) and the Sigma is the correct UTF-8 code (https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/03a3/index.htm). I use col_append_lstr(pinfo->cinfo, COL_INFO, str, COL_ADD_LSTR_TERMINATOR); The display is "A{Dagger}B{Sigma}C" where the {Dagger} and {Sigma} are the correct visual single characters. I use proto_string_add_string(., str); The display is "A{Dagger}B{black-diamond-with-question-mark}{black-diamond-with-question-ma rk}C" where the {black-diamond-with-question-mark} is the visual single character of a black diamond with a question mark (and it is displayed twice). So col_append_lstr handles UTF-8 and proto_string_add_string partially handles UTF-8. How can I get a proto_string_* function that will display UTF-8 correctly like col_append_lstr does? I do not need any string function to validate my UTF-8 bytes (if I make a mistake, that's my problem). I just want a consistent display. Environment: Windows 10 Enterprise (10.0.18363) x64 Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.7.1 QT v5.15.0 using msvc2019_64 Wireshark 3.3.0 with customer dissector Wireshark Font Consolas Regular 12.0
