You can show a part (first 10 characters) of a string using

{{substr($myStr, 0, 10)}}

in laravel blade template.

Laravel 9.x.x

If you want to show only the first character of the string, then:

{{substr($str, 0, 1)}}

You can use Str helper for Laravel.

$converted = Str::substr('The Laravel Framework', 4, 7);

return 'Laravel'
