iphone scientific calculator operation

Hi guys, lame first post, I know. I'm having trouble finding documentation for my phone's calculator. I'm learning stoichiometry on my own and have found need to multiply things by powers of. I can't seem to figure out how it's done on this damn thing. Turning the phone sideways gives me a nice looking scientific calculator and for trig it's always been great, but now I need it for chemistry. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As if I didn't have enough contempt for this phone already.

Does the phone have a caret (^) sign?

If so, 5 to the power of 12 would be written as 5^12.
