It's raised to the power.
2^2 = 2 squared
2^5 = 2 raised to the power 5
Usually you just write the power as a superscript but on here, people use ^.

It's name is a carat and it means that the number is being raised to a power of another number, here's an example:
2^3=2*2*2=8

It's called a caret. It represents exponentiation, read "to the power of". Less frequently, people use it in symbolic logic as the conjunctive symbol meaning "and".

It's called a caret, it's the same thing as a power. Like if it is 5^6 that's the same thing as 5 to the 6th power..

In math , "^f" refers to the Fourier transform of a function f. Now if you refer to the way it is used here, I guess the previous answers are OK.
