The mb_strimwidth Function
The mb_strimwidth function trims a string to a given width, considering multibyte characters. It accepts the source string as the first parameter, the start position as the second, and the maximum string width in characters as the third. An optional fourth parameter allows you to specify a string that will be appended to the end of the trimmed string.

Example
Trim the string to 6 characters:
<?php
$res = mb_strimwidth("Привет мир", 0, 6);
echo $res;
?>

Example
