All the protocol string encodings we intend to handle should be given ENC_ values in epan/proto.h and given implementations in tvb_get_ephemeral_string_enc() and tvb_get_ephemeral_stringz_enc(), which would let you get a UTF-8 ep_ string based on a packet string with any of those encodings, and would let proto_tree_add_item() support all of those encodings.

Whether that's implemented *internally to tvb_get_ephemeral_string_enc() and tvb_get_ephemeral_stringz_enc()* with g_convert_to_iconv() or something else is another matter.
