You could insert an off-screen sentence at the top of an article
saying (this text uses symols, adjust your screen reader punctuation
settings).
I am not a fan of content authors going overboard to address screen
reader options.
That is something the screen reader vendors and the users should work
out for themselves.
It is possible to propose an ARIA attribute that specifies punctuation
levels. If author uses that, the screen readers could pick it up and
adjust their punctuation setting accordingly for that page.
