[5.3.0][mod_articles_category] Trim function not working good with Chinese paragraph.

[shawnhy]

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Install joomla5.3.0
2. Create an article title:Chinese content, paste the following:

生丟字穿久寸鴨右戊女相游兆給，幾進千。完至只象共旦節媽訴旁爸壯文玉氣常旁主。呀室英急穿喜息汁奶科雪室馬種比松實合壯回，房浪借文成，重跟第問土別己乙采鼻抄說貫哪洋夏旁登呢加。斤尾衣後。

Please noted there are no space in paragraph.
3. Insert a mod_articles_category in Cassiopeia position [main-top], set Introtext:show and Introtext Limit (characters):30

Expected result

The introtext should trim partially, instead of showing nothing.

Actual result

None of the paragraph content show in the front-end.

System information (as much as possible)

I have just realised that mod_articles_category is marked as Legacy, and I was supposed to move to Modules: Articles. However, [mod_articles] doesn't allow filtering by category. In addition, [mod_articles] also has the same Chinese paragraph trim issue.

Update: Sorry. I find the way choosing category. But [mod_articles] also has the same Chinese paragraph trim issue.

Hmm, at this time this is expected behavior.... but doesn't make much sense.

I would personally always allow to cut within a word in mod_articles.

I labeled the issues as good first issue, it's just adding a parameter to the truncateComplex call.
