This is my :

private static final int FIELD_MAX = 2000;
private static final Charset CHARSET =  Charset.forName("UTF-8"); 

public String trancStatus(String status) {

    if (status != null && (status.getBytes(CHARSET).length > FIELD_MAX)) {
        int maxLength = FIELD_MAX;

        int left = 0, right = status.length();
        int index = 0, bytes = 0, sizeNextChar = 0;

        while (bytes != maxLength && (bytes > maxLength || (bytes + sizeNextChar < maxLength))) {

            index = left + (right - left) / 2;

            bytes = status.substring(0, index).getBytes(CHARSET).length;
            sizeNextChar = String.valueOf(status.charAt(index + 1)).getBytes(CHARSET).length;

            if (bytes < maxLength) {
                left = index - 1;
            } else {
                right = index + 1;
            }
        }

        return status.substring(0, index);

    } else {
        return status;
    }
}
