The symbol for when a letter or word has been omitted from a sentence is known as a 'caret'. It looks like this ^, and is written below the place of omission. It is pronounced ˈka-rət'.

It's called a caret. According to Wikipedia: "The caret was originally used, and continues to be, in handwritten form as a proofreading mark to indicate where a punctuation mark, word or phrase should be inserted in a document."

Sorry, guys, it's actually called a "caret." A carat or karat is a unit of measurement for jewelry.
