Just looked at the doc.  Bart's right.  The staff shows C# E G.
Either the diagram or the staff notation should be changed.  FWIW,
this is one of those cases where jazz chord naming is often sloppy.
Most classical theory books use the degree symbol alone to indicate a
diminished triad and add the numeral seven when a fully-diminished 7th
is to be indicated.
