It mentions that ,tr can also translate any number of specified characters into other characters. In such case, each of the two sets needs to be enclosed in square brackets, and these brackets, in turn, need to be enclosed in quotation marks. Either single of double quotation marks can be used.
I do not think the information on that page is correct:
There is no need for square brackets; they are a.o. used for ranges.
From the man page:

SET2 is extended to length of SET1 by repeating its last character as necessary
So in example 9, [ is mapped to t, ' is mapped to a and ] is also mapped to a.
In example 10, [ is mapped to t, ' is mapped to t and ] is also mapped to t.

tr
TR(1) User Commands TR(1)NAME
tr - translate or delete characters
SYNOPSIS
tr [OPTION]... SET1 [SET2]
DESCRIPTION
Translate, squeeze, and/or delete characters from standard input, writing to standard output.
-c, -C, --complement
use the complement of SET1
-d, --delete
delete characters in SET1, do not translate
-s, --squeeze-repeats
replace each sequence of a repeated character that is listed in the last specified SET, with a single occurrence of that character
-t, --truncate-set1
first truncate SET1 to length of SET2
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
SETs are specified as strings of characters. Most represent themselves. Interpreted sequences are:
NNN character with octal value NNN (1 to 3 octal digits)
\ backslash
a audible BEL
backspace
f form feed
new line
return
horizontal tab
v vertical tab
CHAR1-CHAR2
all characters from CHAR1 to CHAR2 in ascending order
[CHAR*]
in SET2, copies of CHAR until length of SET1
[CHAR*REPEAT]
REPEAT copies of CHAR, REPEAT octal if starting with 0
[:alnum:]
all letters and digits
[:alpha:]
all letters
[:blank:]
all horizontal whitespace
[:cntrl:]
all control characters
[:digit:]
all digits
[:graph:]
all printable characters, not including space
[:lower:]
all lower case letters
[:print:]
all printable characters, including space
[:punct:]
all punctuation characters
[:space:]
all horizontal or vertical whitespace
[:upper:]
all upper case letters
[:xdigit:]
all hexadecimal digits
[=CHAR=]
all characters which are equivalent to CHAR
Translation occurs if -d is not given and both SET1 and SET2 appear. -t may be used only when translating. SET2 is extended to length of
SET1 by repeating its last character as necessary. Excess characters of SET2 are ignored. Only [:lower:] and [:upper:] are guaranteed to
expand in ascending order; used in SET2 while translating, they may only be used in pairs to specify case conversion. -s uses the last
specified SET, and occurs after translation or deletion.
