I want to remove ^ character from my string but it is not working. I have used the replaceAll method but it still not working.

String str = "^\"^s^h^u^b^h^a^m\"^:";
    str=str.replaceAll("^", "");
    System.out.println(str);

And I am getting this output.

^"^s^h^u^b^h^a^m"^:

`^` is a regex _metacharacter_ and must be escaped if you want to specify its literal value. Use: `str.replaceAll("\\^", "")` – Tim Biegeleisen Jul 24 '22 at 06:39
Or just use `str.replace("^", "")` unless you actually *want* regular expression matching... – Jon Skeet Jul 24 '22 at 06:44
