Trying to read UTF-16 strings from a capture in a lua dissector is either
difficult or we must convert the bytes manually to UTF-8 that Wireshark will
understand.

In this example dissector with the attached pcap

foo = Proto("foo", "FOO")
foo.fields.string = ProtoField.string("foo.s", "name", "desc")
function foo.dissector( buffer, pinfo, tree )
    local sub = tree:add(foo, buffer())
    local a = buffer(0,22):le_ustring()
    sub:add(foo.fields.string, buffer(0,22), a)
end
DissectorTable.get("tcp.port"):add(5707, foo)

I'd expect frame 6 to have the tree item foo.s="name: Hello World"
