Caret notation is the convention of writing ASCII control characters with a ^ and a character in the range @ to _, or ?. ^? denotes DEL, and the others the range 0 to 31.
The earliest known use of this notation is from Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-6 manuals, where the earlier ASCII 1963 character ↑ was used.
