Are you viewing in a UTF-8 locale?   Many of our text documents assume
the UTF-8 character set, but unlike xml/html have no way to specify
that to the viewer.

In UTF-8 locales, those are line drawing characters:
┌───
    RRSetCrtcTransform
        crtc: CRTC
        transform: TRANSFORM
        filter: STRING8
        values: LISTofFIXED
└───

randrproto.txt is a hand-written text file, not generated by any of our tools.
