well i was using a program to find out how im related to the number 23, and it said the sum of the last 4 digits of my phone number add up to 13 and 23 - 2^3 - 2 = 13. thats where i saw it.

It's called a caret, (some people call it a hat.)
One use is to represent exponents in text
X^3 (x cubed)
It's also a proofreading mark for (something missing.)
And it represents the "ctrl" button on the keyboard. So ^C means hold down ctrl and press C.

You really should give more information on where you saw it and what context it was used in.
But on forums it's used to refer to the post above if you're replying to it.

It is called a caret, it is placed below a line to indicate something omitted.
