Looks to me this is a relatively new function that was added to wireshark. Can someone tell me what library I need to use/include to get this working.

You need a version of libwireshark that has a correct libwireshark.def.

I've checked in a change on the trunk fix the bug; I'll schedule it for the upcoming maintenance releases.  You'd need to rebuild Wireshark yourself, either by fixing libwireshark.def yourself to include tvb_get_unicode_string or by building from the trunk, SVN version 37845 or later.
