@Ryan: Thank you very much for the explanation. This does not solve the issue, so I'll live with it and solve it properly for my next report instead.

@MartinScharrer: I see. Still, \^ does what it does, so I suppose it's not impossible to solve?

@Werner: There's most likely a "better" solution. This question isn't about solving my problem, though; it's about getting a command that works like \^ but removes the following character instead of putting a hat on it. None of these solution do that in all situations, and I see no reason for that to be impossible.

I should add that ending with \^ does put a hat over the dot.

My goal was an ugly hack, to \renewcommand \thefigure to end with this, because for some interaction between packages, my figure captions started showing up as "Figure 1.2.:" with an extra period. The period can be made invisible by ending with \color{white}, but trying to \? it results in: ! Paragraph ended before \? was complete.

The period can be made invisible by ending with \color{white}, but trying to \swallow it results in: ! Argument of \swallow has an extra }.

comment How do I get transparent text?
I don't see any problem if the code is fairly simple and self-explanatory, as in this case.

Ah, I didn't realise `\` was a command, much less that it had an argument. Another new thing I've learnt today!

Thanks! I'll accept your answer as that's what I ended up doing, even though Werner answered the actual question :)

Thank you egreg! \texttt makes it nicer, too. Is it possible to do this in a single command definition? (Just curious)

If someone can think of a better title, please edit mine.

@cmhughes: The actual pictures are plots with the Y-axis to the left, and I don't want too much text in different fonts close to each other. I was browsing through a textbook using this technique though, so I suppose it isn't horrible. Thanks for your comment, I hadn't thought of it.
