Whether you’re working with large blocks of multilingual characters, symbol sets, or emoji sequences, the Truncate Unicode tool helps you cleanly trim that content down. Itβs especially useful when you need to preview only part of a string without losing the integrity of graphemes or visual structure. You can control how many characters are shown, where the cut happens (start or end), and whether to add an ellipsis to show itβs been shortened.
How to Use:
- Paste Unicode text into the input field
- Use the Options box to set max characters, truncate direction, and whether to add “⦔
- Choose between full block or line-by-line truncation
- Output updates instantly as you type or change settings
- You can also import
.txt,.log, or.csvfiles - Use the Copy, Export, or Clear buttons as needed
Tool Options:
- Truncate Mode: Choose whether to cut characters from the start or end
- Truncate per line: Applies truncation to each line individually
- Add ellipsis: Adds
β¦at the truncation point to show where content was cut - Max Characters: Sets the limit for truncation, minimum 1 character
Example:
Input:
ππππππ ππ
ππ₯π‘β¨Output (limit: 5, mode: end, suffix: on):
ππππβ¦
ππ₯π‘β¦Common Use Cases:
Truncate Unicode is ideal when you want to display previews of complex text while keeping control over visual length. It’s useful for data sampling, shortening emoji sequences, or trimming visual elements for layouts without breaking multi-codepoint characters.
Useful Tools & Suggestions:
If you’re chopping down text, Convert Unicode to a String Literal can help make sure youβre not accidentally cutting in the middle of a multi-byte character. And if you want to store or transmit the result, Convert Unicode to Bytes keeps it clean and compact.
