Those are exclamation marks.
They indicate commented out lines.

When setting X resources, another useful command
is appres.


The command:

appres Emacs

will show all the current X resources that match "Emacs".

Note:

I don't have Emacs-gtk installed.
Normally gtk programs don't pay any attention to X Resources.
I think you might have more success using the menu bar dialogs.
