^ is the exponential operator in MATLAB. The problem with it is that it isn't present on a lot of non-english keyboard layouts, and if you use it a lot in your work, switching between HR and EN becomes troublesome.
Is there a way to add it to MATLAB's toolbar (like in Excel, so you can use it via mouse or touchpad), or to define a custom key (for example, F12) in MATLAB to replace it?
I'm hoping for a non AHK solution, and the like.

You can represent text in MATLAB®using string arrays. Each element of a string array stores a sequence of characters. The sequences can have different lengths without padding, such as "yes" and "no" . A string array that has only one element is also called a string scalar.
How to create a character vector in R? Use character() or c() functions to create a character vector. character() creates a vector with a specified length of all empty strings whereas c() creates a vector with the specified values, if all values are strings then it creates a character vector.
s = num2str( A ) converts a numeric array into a character array that represents the numbers. The output format depends on the magnitudes of the original values. num2str is useful for labeling and titling plots with numeric values.
To store a 1-by- n sequence of characters as a character vector, using the char data type, enclose it in single quotes. The text 'Hello, world' is 12 characters long, and chr stores it as a 1-by-12 character vector. If the text includes single quotes, use two single quotes within the definition.
Create a toolbar shortcut, give it a name, and put the following in the callback:
clipboard('copy','^')
Running this will place the exponent character ^ in your clipboard. Once you press it, do a Ctrl+V to paste it.
You can apply this idea to create a clip library of snippets accessible from MATLAB's Start menu.

In Windows (with Num Lock on), hold down Alt, type 94 on the numeric keypad, and release Alt. The ^ will be inserted at the cursor.
This is the general technique for inserting arbitrary Unicode characters in Windows, regardless of whether they're on the keyboard.
The ^ character is U+5E, which is 94 in decimal.
