Insertion mark (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

caret

'insertion mark' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for caret that I've seen before include "Sign something's lacking" , "Proofreader's sign of omission" , "Proofreading sign for 'Insert'" , "A sign something is missing" , "Indicator of omission" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The New York Times, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday and the LA Times.
