From Compose 1.8.0(-alpha02), MiddleEllipsis TextOverflow has officially supported. It's easier to use it if you don't need to customize ellipsis text or ellipsis text count.

Text(

  modifier = Modifier,
  overflow = TextOverflow.MiddleEllipsis,
  maxLines = 1 // if you want single-line ellipsis
)
