Display them where?

For displaying them in the GUI:

In versions of Wireshark built with GTK+ 2.x, it should be possible, 
although if the goal is to display them in a string, that's more work. 
(Not all strings are Unicode....)

In versions of Wireshark built with GTK+ 1.2[.x], it's a *lot* more 
difficult; GTK+ 2.x uses UTF-8-encoded Unicode as its string 
representation, but GTK+ 1.2[.x] uses the font's native encoding.

For displaying them elsewhere:

That's trickier - when written to a file, should the file use UTF-8? 
What if you're writing to the standard output?  And what about printing?

At some point we will probably support non-ASCII characters in field 
values, but there's a significant amount of work that would be needed to 
do it correctly.
