caret on macbook pro

The carot symbol on my keyboard (ˆ shift+6) doesn't work on matlab. Matlab doesn't recognize it so I can't write any equation with power symbol. I tried every possible solution on the web and it doesn't work. even in the character viewer I don't have any result when I search ''caret".

'ˆ' + 0

ans = 710

'^' + 0

ans = 94

That is, you might possibly be using the Modified Letter Circumflex Accent https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+02C6 instead of Circumflex Accent https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+005E

I updated OS to MacOS 14 Sonoma and the problem solved. Now shift+6 is actually a Caret.
