truncateWithEndVisible keeps the start and end of a string and puts an ellipsis in the middle. The main path builds the result from Array.from(str), so it slices on code points and never breaks a character. The short-width fallback (taken when maxLength <= endChars + 3) instead returns ELLIPSIS + str.slice(-endChars), which slices on UTF-16 code units.

For characters outside the BMP (CJK Extension B kanji, emoji) each character is a surrogate pair of two code units, so str.slice(-endChars) can cut one in half and leave a lone surrogate:

truncateWithEndVisible('𠮷𠮷𠮷𠮷𠮷',8,5)// before: '...\uDFB7𠮷𠮷' (broken leading character)// after: '...𠮷𠮷𠮷𠮷𠮷'

The fallback now slices by code point, the same way the main path already does. ASCII inputs are unaffected and the existing tests still pass. Added a test covering the fallback with astral characters.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved text truncation so very short widths no longer split multi-code-point characters.
    • Fixed fallback truncation to preserve emoji and other non-BMP characters, avoiding broken replacement symbols.
    • Added test coverage to verify truncation remains correct for Unicode characters in edge cases.

Hoist the code-point length check before this fallback.

Line 23 still runs before the code-point-aware totalChars <= maxLength guard, so astral-only strings that already fit are still truncated. For example, truncateWithEndVisible('🍣🍣🍣🍣🍣', 8, 5) now returns '...🍣🍣🍣🍣🍣' because Line 18 compares UTF-16 length. That also makes the new assertions at Lines 35-36 validate the wrong behavior; once this is fixed, they should either expect the original string or use a smaller maxLength to exercise the fallback.

Suggested fix
 export function truncateWithEndVisible(str: string, maxLength = 20, endChars = 5): string {
const ELLIPSIS = '...';
const ELLIPSIS_LENGTH = ELLIPSIS.length;
- if (!str || str.length <= maxLength) {+ if (!str) {
return str;
}
++ const chars = Array.from(str);+ const totalChars = chars.length;++ if (totalChars <= maxLength) {+ return str;+ }
if (maxLength <= endChars + ELLIPSIS_LENGTH) {

truncateWithEndVisible keeps the start and end of a string and puts an ellipsis in the middle. The main path builds the result from Array.from(str), so it slices on code points and never breaks a character. The short-width fallback (taken when maxLength <= endChars + 3) instead returns ELLIPSIS + str.slice(-endChars), which slices on UTF-16 code units.

For characters outside the BMP (CJK Extension B kanji, emoji) each character is a surrogate pair of two code units, so str.slice(-endChars) can cut one in half and leave a lone surrogate:

truncateWithEndVisible('𠮷𠮷𠮷𠮷𠮷',8,5)// before: '...\uDFB7𠮷𠮷' (broken leading character)// after: '...𠮷𠮷𠮷𠮷𠮷'

The fallback now slices by code point, the same way the main path already does. ASCII inputs are unaffected and the existing tests still pass. Added a test covering the fallback with astral characters.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved text truncation so very short widths no longer split multi-code-point characters.
    • Fixed fallback truncation to preserve emoji and other non-BMP characters, avoiding broken replacement symbols.
    • Added test coverage to verify truncation remains correct for Unicode characters in edge cases.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Hoist the code-point length check before this fallback.

Line 23 still runs before the code-point-aware totalChars <= maxLength guard, so astral-only strings that already fit are still truncated. For example, truncateWithEndVisible('🍣🍣🍣🍣🍣', 8, 5) now returns '...🍣🍣🍣🍣🍣' because Line 18 compares UTF-16 length. That also makes the new assertions at Lines 35-36 validate the wrong behavior; once this is fixed, they should either expect the original string or use a smaller maxLength to exercise the fallback.

Suggested fix
 export function truncateWithEndVisible(str: string, maxLength = 20, endChars = 5): string {
const ELLIPSIS = '...';
const ELLIPSIS_LENGTH = ELLIPSIS.length;
- if (!str || str.length <= maxLength) {+ if (!str) {
return str;
}
++ const chars = Array.from(str);+ const totalChars = chars.length;++ if (totalChars <= maxLength) {+ return str;+ }
if (maxLength <= endChars + ELLIPSIS_LENGTH) {
- return ELLIPSIS + Array.from(str).slice(-endChars).join('');+ return ELLIPSIS + chars.slice(-endChars).join('');
}

truncateWithEndVisible keeps the start and end of a string and puts an ellipsis in the middle. The main path builds the result from Array.from(str), so it slices on code points and never breaks a character. The short-width fallback (taken when maxLength <= endChars + 3) instead returns ELLIPSIS + str.slice(-endChars), which slices on UTF-16 code units.

For characters outside the BMP (CJK Extension B kanji, emoji) each character is a surrogate pair of two code units, so str.slice(-endChars) can cut one in half and leave a lone surrogate:

truncateWithEndVisible('𠮷𠮷𠮷𠮷𠮷',8,5)// before: '...\uDFB7𠮷𠮷' (broken leading character)// after: '...𠮷𠮷𠮷𠮷𠮷'

The fallback now slices by code point, the same way the main path already does. ASCII inputs are unaffected and the existing tests still pass. Added a test covering the fallback with astral characters.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved text truncation so very short widths no longer split multi-code-point characters.
    • Fixed fallback truncation to preserve emoji and other non-BMP characters, avoiding broken replacement symbols.
    • Added test coverage to verify truncation remains correct for Unicode characters in edge cases.
