Under the 4.2 unix used on this system, the 'sh' man page makes a reference
to the caret.

Excerpt follows:

--------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
     _S_h is a command programming language that executes commands
     read from a terminal or a file.  See _I_n_v_o_c_a_t_i_o_n below for
     the meaning of arguments to the shell.

     Commands.
	.
	.
	.

     A _p_i_p_e_l_i_n_e is a sequence of one or more _c_o_m_m_a_n_d_s separated
     by | (or, for historical compatibility, by ^).  The standard
     output of each command but the last is connected by a
     _p_i_p_e(2) to the standard input of the next command.  Each
     command is run as a separate process; the shell waits for
     the last command to terminate.
