Yes, this also happened with one of mine when I attempted to name my New Oxford American dictionary as dicthtml-NOA.zip. I think the Kobo is attempting to lookup the name from one of the international standard lists of official language codes. I think there was an "accidental hit" on "NOA" (probably Norwegian). I just kept trying new names until I found a compromise which was OK, dicthtml-OxAm.zip, in my case.

If you named yours dicthtml-Losomething.zip perhaps it looked up 'lo' and found the 'Lao' language and labelled it 'Lao' but using the Lao alphabet. I wouldn't think that Kobo's Georgia default font would contain any Lao characters - hence the 3 white squares.
