I am starting to learn git. And there is a command which uses the Caret(^) operator. So far I have held in the SHIFT button and pressed the Caret Operator twice and two operators show up like this (^^). For some reason when you press the key once the operator doesn't show up and I find it very annoying. So if there is a way to type the operator just once please enlighten me about it. My OS is Windows btw.

Press space after the first caret.
Your keyboard driver is set to recognize certain characters as "possibly the first of an accent+base combination", such as ' + a -> á. If you press a second key that does not form a valid accent, you get the original character, and the second one as well.

Press the ^ sign once and then space.
You only get the ^ symbol with the cursor right next to it!

I systematically get into trouble on Mac to enter Unicode characters in the very generic manner from quite common applications like Word, IStudio Publisher etc. Would it'd be possible to solve this issue once and for all OS X users.
by the way I'm using Mac mini with OS X (10.13)
I don't have numeric keypad
First make sure Unicode Hex Input is enabled in System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources
It should appear at the left box with your other language keyboards. If Unicode Hex Input isn't available there, click the + button below and scroll to the very bottom of the languages list and choose others, select Unicode Hex Input in the right side details box and click Add button.
Now Unicode Hex Input should be available in menu bar among other languages, choose it and you will then be able to enter unicode characters by holding Option while you type the numbers.
Here is an example of Option+7767=睧 ;)

I'm trying to use ALT + 0176 to get degree sign (°).
But when I use ALT + Num 7/Home, I am redirected to the browser homepage.
Sounds like you are using a laptop that has a numpad.
The alt characters I believe need to be executed on a numpad and not the normal querty number row therefor you need to enable number lock. In order to access those number keys, you need to ensure Num Lk is toggled on.
The Num Lk key should remove the default binding for Home and replace it with Num7

I'm just trying to understand the below scenario.
I'm entering some data to notepad without any new line character but it is being displayed in two lines as shown in below (but I want output in single line only).
Is Windows OS adding a newline character to the data after a certain limit ? What is the reason behind displaying it in two lines ?
It might look funny, but please help me understand.
Notepad is not adding a newline character to the data. Notepad has a limit on how many characters it will display on a single line, even with the word-wrap mode turned off. This does not effect the actual characters in the file.

I can use Alt+f, Alt+b and a series of other Alt command to doing things with word. But the concept word is vague for me.
From my experience, . , _ are valid separator for word, meanwhile ' not,
but is there a clear doc which tells us which separator are valid for word in bash?
Bash (among other command line applications) uses a library called Readline for allowing the user to enter commands. The shortcuts you mentioned are Readline shortcuts (specifically, Readline in Emacs mode). You can check out the documentation for Readline here.
The answer to your specific question is that words are "composed of letters and digits".
