The symbol in the dictionary that shows a stressed syllable is an accent mark.

The correct symbol in the dictionary that shows a stressed syllable is an accent mark. An accent mark is a symbol that is placed above a vowel in a word to indicate that the syllable containing that vowel is stressed. It is important to note that not all words in the dictionary have accent marks, as the stress in English words follows predictable patterns based on the syllable structure and the position of the vowel within the word. However, for certain words where the stress might be irregular or unpredictable, accent marks are used to clarify and guide pronunciation.
