Show only the first letter of the text (SwiftUi) – Ios swift

I’m trying to figure out how can I show only the first letter of the text?

struct MyText: View {
    var body: some View {
        
        Text("Hello")
            .lineLimit(1)
        
    }
}

This is how it should turn out

H

I tried using Line limit but as far as I know it only displays the text in one line

    This can be done using the first property of the string:

    "Hello".first
// -> "H"

    Every String has the first property which returns the first Character of the string. Now because Characters cannot be downcasted to String, here’s what you need to do:

    let text = "Hello"

if let firstCharacter = text.first {
    Text(String(firstCharacter))
} else {
    // do something else
}
