I have a problem and could not find any mention of it anywhere (maybe I
overlooked a term). When using Quantmod's getSymbols function I am having
trouble to get details on the tickers. To illustrate,

getSymbols("XU030",src="google")
XU030

works fine to get historical prices but when the symbol becomes IST::KOZAA-E

https://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=IST%3A%3AKOZAA-E&ei=kXq-U_PpFs-uwAPt9YCYCg

getSymbols("IST::KOZAA-E",src="google")

is also fine but since I cannot write IST::KOZAA-E to console I cannot
reach the historical prices.

I can use ^GSPC from Yahoo but the package deletes ^ when importing.

Is there any way to get info from weird symbols?
