What is the "^I" (carat capital-i) character in Python?

Question

I pasted some text from a text editor (Atom) into IPython and it was rendered as I saw it on the editor, but some special characters appeared, too. These are light-blue carat capital-i's (^I). They seem to represent indentations. Indeed, when I search through the string by index slices, they show tab characters ().

What is this symbol's name? I tried to find it using unicodedata.name('^I'), but it returned a ValueError: no such name error.

If anyone knows where I can find a table of characters by their string representation that will save me a lot of time. The unicode.org source cited in the SO post above does not allow that. Something like this, but with ^I.
