Common uses & context
The character '^' — Circumflex Accent — has ASCII code 94 (0x5E), octal 0136, binary 01011110. Caret / circumflex. Bitwise XOR. Regex anchor for the start of a line/string. Exponentiation in some languages.
Punctuation and symbol codes carry the most syntactic weight per byte in programming: a single '^' can change how a parser reads an entire expression. When '^' needs to appear as literal data rather than syntax, you often have to escape it — in string literals, in regular expressions, in URLs (where it becomes %5E), or in HTML. Knowing its exact code point (94) helps when you filter, validate, or sanitize input byte by byte.
