That's a caret. "Caret" is Latin for "it lacks".
But nothing is simple. In some technical contexts these days, "caret" is the name for the above-the-text circumflex.

I have a little flag at the top off the screen which tells me which language the keyboard is using. Pretty useful as I normally write in English on a Spanish Keyboard.
By clicking on the flag I can switch languages.
My French daughter in law has a French keyboard which infuriates my son, when he forgets to switch to the English keyboard.
I use Apple but my son is stuck in a Microsoft warp.
I wasn't, in fact. He left after my first year, and Seaman took over. Apart from maths, I was not particularly bright - happy to be average at most subjects - and I was notably incompetent at practical stuff. What has surprised me since is how much of what people tried to teach me did actually stick in my subconscious. I was, for instance, the despair of the manual school, but in later life I realised that I was tolerably competent with woodworking tools, and when I decided to design and install, single-handed, a complete central heating system in a large house, my metal-working skills were up to the task. And my Latin is better now than ever it was in Macnutt's classroom. Or, more likely, I can imagine that it's better, because there's nobody to correct me.
