What is the "^" and "|" called?

[neonerd]

is it just an up arrow? since it's not exactly an arrow....
and what do you call "|"?

And I'm assuming these are just called greater than ">" and less than "<" signs

I'd like to be able to dictate the following to somebody:

less than sign, up arrow?, greater than sign, colon, "|", less than sign, up arrow, and greater than sign

[piroroadkill]

^ = caret
| = pipe
< = less than
> = greater than

^ = is an exponent, if used in math notation

I dunno about you guys, but I pronounce caret like "caa - ray"

Maybe I'm wrong.

what is this rectangular thing in front of me with a bunch of buttons and writing on them?

 

[piroroadkill]

I wish I knew. It's a special symbol with no name. Almost like an apostrophe but, just.. not.

You say "carat" like it's spelled.

Better you say it here than at a corporate manager's meeting.
