No, a DLL is not executable, so it does not have any reason to include an icon.

You can change the icon, but that will change the icon of every .DLL file too. Can we know the exact reason for this?

My reason was: I made a very segmented programming with a DLL for each extension.
So, I would have liked to be able to distinguish among all the DLL by adding them adding an icon in the consistency of the icons used for the extensions.

Only executables have an icon, DLL's don't support this.
