^ is a carrot, used to show something like the 2 in a square root. 5^2
{ } are called braces
[ ] are called brackets
| ....this one I have no clue, but reminds me of the symbol in math for the |-3| = 3 can't think of the teminology
\ is a backwards slash, not sure what it is used for.
< > are less than greater than signs for math
/ is a forward slash seen in most web addresses.
Please don't hold my spelling against me....LOL

These are the normal "extra" characters on the English keyboard. And, they all have names which the other people have spelled out correctly. I use these symbols a lot for programming.
These characters also have a specific number. You may be interested in the character charts. at w3.org, unicode committee
