It's a control-underscore (Control-_), or 0x1F, or Unit Separator character from the ASCII (and ISO 8859-x and Unicode) control characters.
The upper-case letters in ASCII, ISO 8859-x and Unicode have code points (all numbers in hex):
41 U+0041 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
…
5A U+005A LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z
The subsequent characters are:
5B U+005B LEFT SQUARE BRACKET
5C U+005C REVERSE SOLIDUS
5D U+005D RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET
5E U+005E CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT
5F U+005F LOW LINE
The control characters like Control-A have a code 0x40 less than the upper-case letters, so you have
01 U+0001 START OF HEADING (aka SOH or Control-A)
…
1A U+001A SUBSTITUTE (aka SUB or Control-Z)
and then you get:
1B U+001B ESCAPE (aka ESC or Control-[)
1C U+001C FILE SEPARATOR (aka FS or Control-\)
1D U+001D GROUP SEPARATOR (aka GS or Control-])
1E U+001E RECORD SEPARATOR (aka RS or Control-^)
1F U+001F UNIT SEPARATOR (aka US or Control-_)
