First, there's apparently a bug: there should be a backslash before the 0s. That said, the "\verb|\|" is apparently redundant, since it appears at the same place in both sets. It'll translate vertical tab (\v) to vertical tab, e to e, r to r, and so on. Maybe it's an attempt to confuse beginners? Or possibly, it's some obscure feature for a non-GNU version of tr? -- finger for GPG public key.
