Yeah. We learned it as Circonflexe anyway, right? I know that carried from high school into coding well before I heard the Latin ;-)
TIL in French it's "circonflexe" and English it's "circumflex".
I'm guessin this is another Daniel Webster moment.
Circonflexe? Haven't heard that name in a long time...
