The caret is an inverted V-shaped grapheme. It is the spacing character ^ in ASCII (at code point 5E) and other character sets that may also be called a hat, control, uparrow, or less frequently chevron, xor sign, to the power of, pointer (in Pascal), or wedge. Officially, this character is referred to as circumflex accent in both ASCII and Unicode terminology (because of its historical use in overstrike), whereas caret refers to a similar but lowered Unicode character: . Additionally, there is a lowered variant with a stroke: .
The caret and circumflex are not to be confused with other chevron-shaped characters, such as or , which may occasionally be called carets too.
