Yes, it looks like that.
It seems the text comes from a typewriter, so it was not a problem to go back and overprint.
Was that overprinting of =, ( and ) a surrogate for a missing #?

    1961 programming book on the programming language Jovial. On page 7ff
    is a character I've never seen before; I'm pretty sure it's
    overprinting, but I'm not sure of what. I've attached an image to this
    email message.

    The text says "The metasymbol 𒀗 signifies syntactic equivalence,
    while the colon
    signifies concatenation and the semicolon ; signifies selection
    between
    adjacent elements."
