Arc Symbol

Is there any way to make an arc symbol in the equation editor?

Example: The closest I can come is using the $\widehat{ABC}$ command in LaTex. That makes the arc over the top 2 segments that come to a point instead of a smooth curve. It suffices in the absence of anything better, but isn't really correct.

Thanks for the quick reply Brad. Where did you find the arc symbol to put in the brackets? When I click on insert symbol in the equation editor I don't see it there.

I tried it by copying and pasting from your response. The results are below. It isn't too bad for a minor arc with 2 letters. The major arc with 3 letters is flat on top. I like the smooth curve from MathType in my original post best, but this is probably better than the pointed widehat that I used. At least it is curved on the ends.
