Edit menu : Emoji's & Symbols. The above is the official Unicode insertion symbol. Click in your Pages document where you want that character inserted, and then double-click the selected symbol above, that is underneath the Unicode Name.

Not sure I really understand what you want here. Normally for most US English fonts directly from your keyboard you would press Alt-I followed by the vowel you what the caret over (e.g., î, ô, ê, â, or û), but if you mean you just want the caret to display the caret alone, the try Alt-I followed by a space. (E.g., ˆ)

that is a used for pronunciation and is placed on top of the letter - what I am looking for is sort of a typesetting mark that instructs the reader to look above the mark and see a correction or other footnote - thanx anyway

For above the line, you could use U+005E, ^ or U+02C6, ˆ

For below, you could use U+2038, ‸

All are available from the Character Viewer (Edit > Special Characters), and the first two also from the keyboard: Shift + 6 = ^, alt/option + shift + i = ˆ

Well you just need to press the space bar after shift+6, it changes from this ˆ to this ^ 😉
