Function to limit number of charcaters in a specific textblock

There are some usefull codes to limit excerpt length ( characters or word count ) but for a normal textblock I can’t think of anything right now for a specific content – f.e. for a given content in a textblock with id or class etc.

well i guess the excerpt codes could be transformed to a given selector f.e.:

function limit_character_length(){
?>
<script>
(function($){
	$(window).load(function(){
	    $('.av_textblock_section').each(function() {
	     	$(".avia_textblock > p").text(function(index, currentText) {
	     		return currentText.substr(0, 50);
			});
	    });
	});
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_head', 'limit_character_length');

i guess its best to see your site to give better advice.

i think it would be best to have on text editor a character counter.
Unfortunately the word counter has also disappeared when using the Advanced Layout Builder in the Text Editor.
