We use tag to get user input in HTML. To give a limit (or range) to the input field, we use the min and max attributes, which is to specify a maximum and minimum value for an input field respectively. To set the maximum character limit in input field, we use maxlength attribute.
The text-overflow property specifies how overflowed content that is not displayed should be signaled to the user. It can be clipped, display an ellipsis (), or display a custom string.

Use text blocks instead of attributes: If the information is the same for all users (like mailing address, website etc..) you can use a text block that will have fewer characters.
The easiest way to limit text to n lines is to use line-clamp . N can be any positive number, but it will be two or three lines most of the time. On my blog, Im using line-clamp in all post-type components to ensure that it will have the same height as siblings.
The maxlength attribute defines the maximum number of characters (as UTF-16 code units) the user can enter into an or . This must be an integer value 0 or higher. If no maxlength is specified, or an invalid value is specified, the input or textarea has no maximum length.
While you cant use CSS alone to do this, you can limit the amount of characters show using CSS as Darren has suggested. You need to set your text container to white-space: no-wrap, text-overflow: ellipsis, and overflow:hidden. Then simply set the size for your container. What do you mean by setting such a limit?
If you want to limit the text length to one line, you can clip the line, display an ellipsis or a custom string. All these can be done with the CSS text-overflow property, which determines how the overflowed content must be signalled to the user.
