You must have a character encoding problem, my man page says:

If a pattern does not begin with “- ” (dash,  space)  or  “+  ”  (plus,
space),  then  the  rule will be interpreted as if “+ ” (for an include
option) or “- ” (for an exclude option) were prefixed to the string.  A
--filter  option, on the other hand, must always contain either a short
or long rule name at the start of the rule.

lq must mean left-quote, rq right quote.
