The ^ character is an alternative character with the same meaning as | (pipeline) in traditional Unix shells, that is the original sh and deriviatives of that. It has never been documented, but it is there. Therefore, the ^ must be backslashed in order to protect it from evaluation. The ^ is not special in bash, as the special properties of ^ are not widely known and have not been officially documented.
