OP has posted a binary exclusive or operation (XOR).
25 ^ 19 turns both into their binary code and combines the pair to the binary equivalent of “10” .
Let me see if I still get the table of truth together:
A B A XOR B
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
0 0 0
XOR are often used for encryption algorithms, are really messy and I’m glad I don’t have to deal with them directly.
Here’s an MDN article about XOR
