Fix: use UTF-8 safe substr for multibyte support in mod_articles_category
Fixes #45452
Summary of Changes
Replaced the regular substr() function with mb_substr() in mod_articles_category to ensure correct multibyte string handling for UTF-8 encoded text.
Testing Instructions
- Create or open a Joomla site with multibyte characters (e.g., accented or non-Latin characters) in article titles or categories.
- Display those articles using the "Articles - Category" module.
- Verify that the trimming and display of multibyte titles is now correct.
Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request
Multibyte characters were sometimes cut off or displayed incorrectly.
Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request
Multibyte characters are displayed correctly and not truncated.
