You haven't earned your sh hackers badge yet I see.  :-)

On Solaris 2.5.1:

bash[96] /bin/sh
\h bash[\#] echo me ^ echo you
you
\h bash[\#] 

But yet:

bash[1] echo me ^ echo you
me ^ echo you

This is a left over from the time when some terminals didn't have | on
them, but they did have ^, so an alias was created.
