How can I use the ^ key?

Hello! My name is Sebastian, I'm currently using MATLAB R2016b with an academic license on a Linux computer, specifically Elementary OS Loki . I want to know if there is any way to enable this key without having to change the keyboard layout. My computer's keyboard layout is Spanish(Latin America). Thanks
