Sending ^ in keystrokes

I have some code with the following password L3C$5j35DF<^

My code is as follows

Send>{"L3C$5j35DF<^"}

However it only ever outputs L3C$5j35DF< to screen.

Any idea how I send the ^ keystroke?

It works for me when I test against Notepad:

SetFocus>Notepad*
Send>{"L3C$5j35DF<^"}

So maybe something with your app?

Have you tried sending it on it's own? With a delay? Slowing key send rate down?

A couple of other things to try if caret doesn't get passed with send:

Let>vPass=L3C$5j35DF<^
Send>vPass

Let>vPass=L3C$5j35DF<^
PutClipBoard>vPass
Press Ctrl
Send>v
Release Ctrl

Whats really baffling is if i send the following text with two ^^ it types it correctly

"L3C$5j35DF<^^"

That sounds like your software sees the caret as an escape character.
