Klaus Herrmann: 10:02pm Jan 30, 2006: That'll depend on your text. If you'd refer to the @ sign as Klammeraffe, Hütchen would be appropriate otherwise I'd suggest to use the formal name. (I agreed to the answer below before Brie added the note). -

If I type the symbol in question and hit space, I get a caret, like this: ^; if I type the symbol and a vowel immediately after it, I get a circumflex: ô Technically two different things, but the terms are often used interchangeably.
I fully agree with Klaus that it depends on your context as to whether to use the more formal Caret(zeichen) or the more colloquial Hütchen. |

| Zirkumflex / Dachzeichen
Explanation:
I do not know what sort of keyboard you're using. Mine shows the Dachzeichen on top of the "6" key but if you mean ^, you have the
translation above. (On the very left, left of the 1, my keyboard shows a ~ which, I believe, is not what you asked).
