To actually show a ^^ sign, just put two ^^ signs in a row : for example, ^^^^R will be displayed as ^^R.

To actually show a && sign, just put two && signs in a row : for example, &&&&-R will be displayed as &&-R.

Note that ^^w and ^^n DON'T give the same colour on all terminals, make sure not to use ^^w when you mean ^^n.
