keyboard - Why is my return symbol broken in Pharo, throwing Unknown character error when compiling method?

Question

I'm starting at the Pharo MOOC, but got stuck in one of the first lessons, because apparently my return operator is broken. I faced this problem in the section [ReDo1] Packages, Classes and Methods. At one point, we are supposed to define a simple method, a getter, like this:

By when I try to follow the lesson in my Pharo install, the return "hat" operator ^ is a bit different, and smaller. When I try to compile the method, I just get a error:

But I'm pretty sure I typed the correct character in my keyboard, as the photo shows:

Could the problem be related to my keyboard layout. I run Pharo 8 using a ABNT2 keyboard (for pt-BR) under Kubuntu 20.04.

UPDATE: Adding image of entire keyboard, as requested by Leandro. It's a Philips C324 (ABNT standard):

Answer 1

You must double tap the circumflex key.

I figured out the problem. It's just that when I press Shift and single tap the circumflex key, at first I get nothing, then I get the character not recognized in the next keypress (usually spacebar), the code point 710 (2C6) mentioned by Leandro. If after pressing Shift I double tap the circumflex key, I get the correct character, code point 94 (5E).
