One Answer:
Because Wireshark and TShark use the Unicode RIGHT ARROW character, rather than "->", between the source and destination port number in the "Info" column for TCP (and UDP and DCCP) packets, and because whatever is showing that output (terminal emulator, text editor, etc.) apparently isn't properly handling the UTF-8 encoding of that character. If, for example, the terminal emulator or text editor is expecting ISO 8859/1 ("ISO Latin 1") text, it's not going to properly display the text output from Wireshark.
Either modify Wireshark and TShark not to use that character, or somehow arrange that the software displaying Wireshark's/TShark's output properly handle the UTF-8 encoding of that character. answered 03 Feb '16, 01:50  Guy Harris ♦♦ Basically, it helps to try different fonts until you find one that works, e.g. "Consolas" if you're on Windows.

At what operating system it happens?
