Many people use the "^^" sign in their texts or on MSN. I keep looking at the meanings of the sentences, but I don't really understand what it means. Is it just a kind of punctuation mark or does it have a specific meaning?

Hello,

This means "to laugh" or "funny"...
the two "^^" represent the eyes of a character that is laughing (or the eyebrows)...

Hello!

Imagine that the two hats are your eyes, imagine the rest of the face after!
That basically means ... uh ... a little smile I think, or that he finds your sentence funny, a little funny huh, otherwise he would put: "LMAO LOL XD"

Just kidding, huh ;)

It's a smiley with eyes like in manga ^^.
It's just a smile.

  It's an emoticon, not a smiley... the smileys are those yellow heads.
  Actually, emoticons are characters while smileys are images...
  But hey, it's just a detail... ^^ ;-)

  It's six of one, half a dozen of the other; emojis are necessarily characters.

I often use ^^" to basically say I'm a little embarrassed or something like that; I suppose it means about the same thing.

Hello,
A little update on the meaning!
Originally, and among its oldest users, "^^" continues to signify a smile of sorts and is akin to the emoji that smiles with flushed cheeks.
Among younger people, under 30, "^^" is perceived as... a passive-aggressive symbol!

In short, "Yes, we're doing this ^^" can mean "Yes, we're doing this :D" for some and "Yes, we're doing this --'" for others, to stay within smiley vocabulary. So be careful about who you use it with!

By the way, ";)" ":)" ">:(" suffer from the same problem.
