Removing unwanted file

While using a modem a few days ago, I created a file due to noise on the
phone line ( the noise gave a 'save filename' command from my editor).  I
am now having trouble deleting the file because it contains special
characters.  The filename begins with '^...'(ie., <ctrl>A^).  When I 
'ls', 'mv', or 'rm' the file using a wild card the string is always 
misinterpreted.

Any ideas on how to remove this unwanted file?

Thanks,

John Hudson
