Ahhh... "international" keyboard layout, with dead keys. Sorry, I did
not think of that - we users of US or UK English don't have any dead
keys in our map! The caret must be the dead key for a circumflex
accent...?

Don't know what bc command is, but:* Using pclos I can print a ^
without any tricks, and having set a compose key,

I can type hôtel, for instance, in the terminal.* I just tried it.*
I would be surprised if your Ubuntu machine won't do

that.* (I have US keyboard with the compose key set up for the right
CTRL key.* If you have a k/b with Microsoft keys,

you could make the right M/S key your control key--it's not good for
anything else.)* Generally speaking, any character

I can print in KWrite, or LibreOffice or Thunderbird mail, I can
print in the terminal. And most mail readers can reproduce

the foreign characters OK too. I'm sure you can set up a compose key
in Ubuntu--I have probably done it myself in

the past, when I was messing with Ubuntu.* That distro has superb
documentation, so look it up.* I've never seen a

command that used a foreign character, but I believe that some
complicated bash commands use the ^ by itself,

so you shouldn't even need a compose key for that.*

It doesn't need to be /that/ complicated - e.g.

lproven@blackbox-2:/usr$ ls -la | grep ^d

... gives a list of entries in that directory that start with a "d",
i.e., which are directories.

But you are using a keyboard layout which doesn't have dead keys. The
problem Fernando was describing doesn't happen on keyboards without
dead keys.
