Please refer the link below
https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.pages.meta/pages/pages_compref_inputTextarea.htm
You can use the cols - The width of the field, as expressed by the number of characters that can display in a single row at a time.
rows - The height of the text area, as expressed by the number of rows that can display at a time.
eg ;
If you are using HTML, then refer the link http://www.mediacollege.com/internet/javascript/form/limit-characters.html

Hello,
Thank you for reply.
The input is already entered by user. my problem is display in VF page.
I reverified , i display the text area like below
<apex:outputText value="{!description}" />Thank for suggestion.
I want to limit the number of columns and rows displayed
There is one way you can limit the characters entered.
1st you have to make the input field that user enters as inputtextarea.
Then change in VF page, instead of using outputText page, use use apex:outputField. Then it will display in the required format.
OR you can use
<apex:outputText value="{!description}" style="white-space:pre;" />
It will preserve the spaces .
alos try <apex:outputText value="{!description}" escape="false" />
Hope this helps.
