If this is the caret (on 6 key on American keyboards) then you could
certainly just assign an unused key or key combo to this character using
define-key or global-set-key:
(global-set-key [f6] (lambda () (interactive) (insert ?^ )))
Put in .emacs or evaluate with C-x C-e
But the gurus will certainly have something more elegant.
