The special character in your question didn't come through.
If it was a horizontal bar then it implies the sample mean; for example, for a sample of 'x' values (usually numbered 1, 2, 3, ..., n) x with a bar over it would mean the statistical average or mean of these numbers.
If the special character was a caret then it implies any of a variety of statistical estimators. For example, if you had assumed for some reason that the data had arisen from a population with a Poisson distribution with parameter 'lambda' then you might see a Greek letter lambda with a caret over it to represent a formula for calculating a statistical estimate of that parameter.
