Your right about the ^ being a caret/carrot. But what then are the left and right angle brackets called besides left and right brackets or less than/greater than???
any ideas???
The nearest to a formal name for left and right angle brackets is guillemet. Normally, these appear as << >> and are used in European languages but the single form, a single guillement, is also used in typography. However, the guillemet is actually quite a bit smaller than the angle bracket used in most computer character sets while typographers also use a taller, less-angled version called.... well actually I don't know what that one is called (Tall Guillemet? Slim Guille?), so someone still has room to enlighten me. It seems perfectly good to me to keep calling them left and right angle brackets, or else you will sound like you are navigating in a rally for a manic in a Citroen.
