What it is for

The small letter p. Its capital is P at 80, exactly 32 lower — the difference is bit 5, which is why case conversion is a bitwise operation.

Where the number comes from

The alphabet was placed so that capitals start at 65 and lowercase at 97 — exactly 32 apart, a single bit. Changing case is therefore c ^ 32, and this was a deliberate design decision rather than a coincidence.
