If you're editing the item with FXTextField, you can set TEXTFIELD_LIMITED and
pass the desired number of columns.
Note that the length of the string is the number of bytes, but the number of characters
may be less than the number of bytes because of the UTF-8 unicode representation; in UTF-8
characters may be 1, 2, 3, or 4 bytes. (the actual representation goes up to 6 but technically
there are no code points above 1,114,112 so 4 bytes is enough).
Use string.count() to figure out how many unicoce characters are in the string...
