In a word processor, the caret (usually a blinking vertical line that indicates where the next character will go) indicates a position between two characters in the text, without actually selecting either one of them.

• 在文字处理器中，插入符号（通常是一小段闪烁的黑色垂直线光标，用来表明下一字符所在的位置）表明文本中两个字符之间的位置，而实际上它并没有选择两个字符中的任何一个。
