That's overtrimmed. The original read:
0048: 04 10 44 00 00 00 45 00 00 00 46 00 00 00 00 00 ..D...E...F.....
0064: 00 00 ..
That's 04 for octet string, 10 for 16 bytes long, and the sequences "44
00 00 00", "45 00 00 00", "46 00 00 00", and "00 00 00 00". I'm guessing that
wide characters (L"") on OP's platform are 32 bits.

Nope. That's the expected output when you try to print wide ASCII.
The second character (as interpreted by the print routine) is the null
terminator (because it's supposed to be padding to fit the ASCII into 16 or 32
bits).
Note that there has not been a "Unicode" character encoding in about 15
years, and never a "UTF" encoding - there are UTF-16, UTF-8, UTF-32, UTF-16BE,
UTF-16LE, etc., etc., ad nauseum. The only one that I would expect to have any
chance of success is UTF-8, which is guaranteed not to be generated by L"". In
any case, your debug output showa that your wide chars are transferred
correctly, which *is* expected of SNMP (the joys of TLV!).
If you really need to understand this better, here's your (WARNING:
PAINFUL!) starting point:

Peace, love, and Unicode!
