First draft. Seems the right idea if not a final. Probably needs some kind of a "binary truncation" to avoid doing a crap ton of work if given a couple megabytes of character data but only looking for the first 255 bytes.
Update, redacted the update, it was wrong and only up for 30 seconds. :P
use 5.16.0;
use strict;
use utf8;
use open ":std", ":encoding(utf8)";
use Encode;
# my $str = "艾捷克, 萨塔尔, 胡西它尔.";
my $str = "艾捷"; # Shortened string for terse output example.
my $max_bytes = shift || length encode(utf8 => $str);
while ( $max_bytes )
{
my $length;
$str =~ s/.\z// while ( $max_bytes < ( $length = length encode(utf8 => $str) ) );
$length ||= 0;
say <<"";
Max -> $max_bytes
Actual -> $length
String -> $str
$max_bytes--;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
