What does "^" mean for variables?

Help?

...
private: static String^ key;
private: static String^ secret;
...
String^ dataStr = GetInfo() + "&" + GetNonce();        
array<Byte>^ data = Encoding::ASCII->GetBytes(dataStr);
...

Ah apparently it has something to do with CLI.

^ is to * as % is to & (I'm assuming managed C++ not WinRT)

^ = managed pointer
* = native pointer
% = managed reference
& = native reference
