Please provide a more detailed example of what you want to achieve.

I never saw it, and did no research, but at the topt of my head I'd say: No.

But you can always split the word with something like:

<p>Wo<b>rd</b></p>

use <span> tag with and id. Read about it.

not sure of the desired effect, but:
using css psuedo selectors styles can be applied automatically to certain parts of elements
breaking the word into <span class='1'>half</span><span class='2'>2ndhalf</span> can be applied manually,
or automatically with serverside wizardry beyond the scope of this question

If you don't want any markup in your static text, then js is the only way I can think of.

Applying to a word is quite easy with js, but... you want to apply it to half a character?

I'm starting to think about kerning and duplicating the letter somehow. Or some sort of masking.

make the character an image and then use image maps,
