Possible SC for Silver:
A mechanism is available for users to turn hyphenation on or off.

Not sure of the best way to address it in WCAG 2.1.

CSS has the hyphens property that tells the browser how to hyphenate words when line-wrapping. But it is not user controllable.

Spec:
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-3/#hyphenation

Example:
article p {
hyphens: auto;
}

It is supported in every major browser, except from all blink-based browsers (Chrome, Opera, Android)
