It means raise the previous number to the power of the following number. The exponent operator.
So, in your example, it would mean 3 to the 2nd power or 3*3 = 9

In math it means to the power of. For example, if you were to try to find 4^3, it would mean four to the 3rd power, or 64.

it means power/exponents, in the mathematical sense.

thats 2 to the power of 2
which is 4

It's called a circumflex, and in mathematics means "to the power of". In your example you could rewrite
3^2
as 3 times 3, or nine.
3^3 would be three times three times three, or 27.
