How to type a caron char with qwerty keyboard?

Question

How to type a caron char with a qwerty keyboard? I really need a blank space with this carot. I used the following instructions with no success. The opposite char, the carot, is printed on my keyboard keys.

I need it to work at least on Google Chrome.

enter image description here

I use a Catalan keyboard layout and I can type the Carot char over a space, like that: ^^^. I just need the updown of that -> the Carot. — a_maar, Aug 20 '12 at 11:06

LoL, but it's a solution. Thank you !! – a_maar Aug 20 '12 at 12:15
It seems that without modifying the registry or changing the IME, there's no good way to do this in Windows. Probably the best solution is to use Wordpad and the Alt-X method in RedGrittyBrick's answer, then cut/paste the character into the application you need it in. – David Schwartz Aug 20 '12 at 22:56

@senyortoni: But what happens when you try what I actually suggested in my answer? – RedGrittyBrick Aug 20 '12 at 11:20
It works. But I want to use it in Chrome for example. – a_maar Aug 20 '12 at 11:24
@senyortoni: Sorry, I didn't see that mentioned in you question. – RedGrittyBrick Aug 20 '12 at 11:27
I didn't specify. I'm sorry but your answer is right. – a_maar Aug 20 '12 at 11:29

Chrome OS... The caron is AltGr & > then the letter applied to... ǎčďěǧȟǐǰǩľňǒřšťǔž

AltGr + > v gets ǚ

AltGr + . letter gets dotted such as ȧ

AltGr + @ letter gets Hungarian Umlaut such as ő

AltGr + # letter gets ¯ macron, such as ā...

AltGr + ' letter gets acute accent such as á, but so does AltGr + a - many letters get this

AltGr + " letter gets Umlaut/Derisis such as ä

AltGr + 6 letter gets careted/circonflex such as â

AltGr + 7 letter adds a hook, such as ơ ư

AltGr + ` letter get accents ague such as à

AltGr + ~ letter get tildes such as ã,

øØ are AltGr + l or AltGr + L

åÅ çÇ ñÑ ðÐ and þÞ are AltGr + w/W/c/C/n/N/d/D/t/T

As mentioned on Wiki, it's part of Latin Extended-A. Below is the shortcut, if you use it frequently.

Just install KbdKaz 500. Using this keyboard, you can insert caron ^ by pressing AltGr+6 and then space.

That's the caret character, not the caron. Caron points down, caret points up. – Ricky Jun 28 '17 at 16:56
