Why do GUIDs have curly brackets when read using the ODBC driver?

I'm using Atrex 19, and am pulling data out of the tables for inclusion in reports. I'm finding GUID fields are being returned with curly brackets around the GUID. For example:

I'm finding this to be consistent regardless of the program used to access the data (Python, Microstrategy, etc.).

Is this how the GUIDs are stored in the database, or am I getting the extra characters from somewhere else?
