[SOLVED] zsh: how to disable interpolation of ^ (circumflex, caret)?

My problem: zsh is interpolating ^ somehow to 'Calibre Library' and 'bin', which are subdirectories...

zsh:

$ sudo mkfs.ext4 -O ^has_journal /dev/sdd1
mke2fs 1.46.2 (28-Feb-2021)
mkfs.ext4: invalid blocks 'Calibre Library' on device 'bin'

bash:

$ sudo mkfs.ext4 -O ^has_journal /dev/sdd1
mke2fs 1.46.2 (28-Feb-2021)
/dev/sdd1 contains a ext4 file system

Proceed anyway? (y,N) y

Any idea how to tell zsh not to interpolate the caret/circumflex character?

Thanks, Seth!

I also found out that I had activated "extendedglob" in zsh. Without it the caret is not being interpolated/expanded.

Matter of preference - extendedglob has some benefits, but you'll have to quote few more chars.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
