Try this: \^{}.

More symbols see in the pdf file symbols-a4.pdf.

There are only two options that come immediately to mind: \verb=^= and \^. The first will not work inside another command and the second is actually an accent so should be typeset as \^{} (if you only want the caret).

It might be useful to know how you intend to use the symbol. For example, if you want to use is as a binary operation in mathematics you could cobble together something like

\DeclareMathOperator\caret{\raisebox{1ex}{$\scriptstyle\wedge$}}

in your preamble.

  • once \DeclareMathOperator\caret{\raisebox{1ex}{$\scriptstyle\wedge$}} is declared in your preamble, how would one use this ^ in their text? – 3kstc Aug 22 '18 at 09:34
