Is this true generally or just for your one case?

I am not sure that will work as well as you hope. Commands are read
left-to-right and people generally stop reading the word when they have
recognized it and they move on to the next word. This means ends of
words are often not read in the same detail as the beginning of a word.
Trailing - could get lost. I was going to suggest a character such as @
or # -- something big, preferably used at the start as you were trying
with ! and ^.
The problem with # is that it is used as the comment character in
scripts so might present a problem. I haven't experimented.
