How to make the regex to not accept only hat sign (^)

Question

I have tried /^[^^]+$/, it is not allowing ^, but also not allowing some special characters like <>( that I want to allow.

Is there any regex that only not allow just one sign (^)?

Your problem description makes no sense. Please post a [mcve]. — melpomene, Sep 22 '17 at 19:05
The premise of your question is wrong. `/^[^^]+$/.test('<>()')` returns `true`, because all of those characters match the provided pattern. — zzzzBov, Sep 22 '17 at 19:10
@melpomene It does make sense. For me it's clear what is he asking for. He wants a regex which will match everywithng except `^` sign. — Sebastian Kaczmarek, Sep 22 '17 at 19:12
@SebastianKaczmarek Yes, but `[^^]` does that (match any character that isn't `^`). — melpomene, Sep 22 '17 at 19:14

/\^/g will match all instances of the "hat" character.

/[^^]/g will match all characters that are not the "hat" character.

Using +$ looks for one or more matching at the end of the string.
