^ has no meaning in MSI.  I suspect they were using it as a delimiter.

Subject: [wix-users] Meaning of ^ symbol in Wix Custom Action Value attribute

I saw a CustomAction element which had a symbol ^ in its Value attribute,
like below.

<CustomAction Id="CustAxn1" Property="[MY_PROPERTY]" HideTarget="no"
Value="[%ComputerName]^[PROPERTY1]^[ PROPERTY2 ]" />

Can anyone please explain what is the significance of the symbol ^ ?
