Stress

If a word has two or more syllables, we put a stress on one of the syllables - we say it louder. Look at the entry for advantage.

ad.van.tage / @d'vA:ntIdZÛ@d'væn /

/ ' / this mark comes immediately before the second syllable and shows that we put the stress on the second syllable - we say adVANTage.
