We typically use hyphenation to break words across lines in a text, but this is more about fitting the word within the line constraints, not necessarily indicating syllables.
Here's why there isn't a standard punctuation for syllables:
* Syllabification is complex: The rules for dividing words into syllables are not always straightforward and can vary depending on the language.
* Visual clutter: Adding punctuation for every syllable would make text very cluttered and difficult to read.
* Contextual understanding: We generally understand syllable breaks through our knowledge of the language and how words are pronounced.
Instead of punctuation, here are some ways to learn about syllable division:
* Dictionaries: Many dictionaries provide syllable breaks for words.
* Online resources: Websites like Merriam-Webster or Oxford Dictionaries offer pronunciation guides and syllable breakdowns.
* Phonetic transcription: Learning phonetic symbols can help you understand the sounds within words and, thus, the syllables.
