It's not garbled exactly; it's an HTML entity for the double dagger ‡. 
In the page source code the ampersand in that string is itself 
represented by the HTML entity & , rather than being the actual 
ampersand character, so "&#x2021;" is being displayed literally rather 
than converted to the double dagger. In other words this string ought to 
look like L901 ‡b.A546 - which is normal enough in some contexts but not 
here. I suspect maybe a copy-paste from somewhere that had subfields and 
delimiters and a failure to clean it up.
