Getting these chars does usually mean that the font that you use can't show them. E.g these problems happened to my app, when I used a watch as a Unicode charackter in Ubuntu 12.10 alpha. Maybe it has to do with a too basic UTF bit setting.

Checkout your charackter keymap for other keys that are not supported by your fonts.

I have the same problem. But when I mount the device, with the weird characters, it shows the right name.

Using default fonts from gnome.

Using Archlinux, Gnome-shell, Spanish

How can I check the character keymap?
