That's how we call it. "Dach" in German.

And Asher, if I recall the horrible days of Windows programming (which will undoubtly return soon ), wasn't a "caret" the pointer for the next text input, because the mouse pointer is already called "cursor"?

In modern mathematics it can be used as 'to the power of'.
