For me, the issue with the word gun, is not isolated to Voice Dream Reader. It is anywhere using US English voices. I just tested it in the Notes app using Tom Enhanced and the word gun is pronounced g u n.
This was on my Work phone running iOS 13.2.2.

I was never able to figure out what text was causing the "to the power of" words to be spoken since those words weren't present. When I switched to another voice in voice Dream, the problem seemed not nearly as bad although that might have been due to the absence of the offending punctuation in that section. Thanks for identifying the source of the strange pronunciation.

Are you having the issue where Voiceover sometimes pronounces certain punctuation as "to the power of"? It seems to happen with certain types of quotation marks and hyphens.

The fix until someone gets their act together, is to go into the VoiceOver Speech, pronunciations and add gun, the word, which US English voices say g u n, and enter the substitution gunn, which has two n's. I just did that and now gun is said correctly. This for sure started with iOS 13.
