The code

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
$\widehat{\mathcal{C}_0}$
$\widehat{\mathcal{D}_0}$
\end{document}

yields the following. enter image description here

I never noticed this effect before, but it seems like the hat on the D is much wider, probably because the letter is wider on top?

Is there a way to make the difference less extreme?

    You should set the hat just over the letter: \widehat{\mathcal{C}}_0 and \widehat{\mathcal{D}}_0. – Werner Dec 20 '23 at 05:35

    that would have a different meaning. i want to apply the hat operation to C_0, not to C. – user313032 Dec 20 '23 at 05:36
  • anyway, I got it to work now with $\widehat{\hspace{0pt}\mathcal{C}_0}$, as discussed in https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/47058/why-does-widehat-behave-differently-if-i-insert-hspace0pt – user313032 Dec 20 '23 at 05:39
