IBM's macro syntax diagrams consist of drawing characters, square
brackets, braces, parentheses, etc. and look great with the right code
page and translation table settings. The appearance of "garbage"
characters is an artifact of an emulator code page or ISPF translation
table issue.
You will find syntax diagrams in (at least) the following macros from

Good luck reading them without proper settings. :-) I suppose one could
argue that's what manuals are for. But, not all of them are documented
in the manuals. :-(
