The ^ symbol is called a caret.

Microsoft Word Symbols calls it a Circumflex Accent which is what that symbol is called when placed above a letter in French in words like forêt.

A caret is often used to show where information or text should be added, when proofreading and editing. It is also used when using indices (mathematical term referring to X squared). They are written as X^2.

For my best knowledge, that is the to the power symbol.

Lets say 6^4, that would mean 6 to the 4th power. (6 x 6 x 6 x 6)

Hope this helps.
