Caret
Caret is an inverted V-shaped grapheme. Specifically, caret commonly refers to the spacing character ^ in ASCII and other character sets that may also be called a hat, control, uparrow, or less frequently chevron, xor sign, to the [power of], fang, shark, pointer, or wedge. Officially, this character is referred to as circumflex accent in both ASCII and Unicode terminology, whereas caret refers to a similar but lowered Unicode character: U+2038 ‸ caret. Additionally, there is another lowered variant with a stroke: U+2041 ⁁ caret insertion point. The caret and circumflex are not to be confused with other chevron-shaped characters, such as U+028C ʌ latin letter turned v or U+2227 ∧ logical and, which may occasionally be called carets too.
Chambers 20th Century Dictionary
Caret
