How can text like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa which exceeds the width of a div (say 200px) be wrapped?
I am open to any kind of solution such as CSS, jQuery, etc.

On bootstrap 3, make sure the white-space is not set as 'nowrap'.
div {
width: 200px;
word-break: break-all;
white-space: normal;
}
You can use a soft hyphen like so:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
This will appear as
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
if the containing box isn't big enough, or as
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
if it is.
div {
/* Set a width for element */
word-wrap: break-word
}
The 'word-wrap' solution only works in IE and browsers supporting CSS3.
The best cross browser solution is to use your server side language (php or whatever) to locate long strings and place inside them in regular intervals the html entity ​
This entity breaks the long words nicely, and works on all browsers.
e.g.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa​aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
<p style="word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-all;">

I have used bootstrap. My html code looks like ..
<div class="container mt-3" style="width: 100%;">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12 wrap-text">
<h6>
text content
</h6>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.wrap-text {
text-align:justify;
}
Use word-wrap:break-word attribute along with required width. Mainly, put
the width in pixels, not in percentages.
width: 200px;
word-wrap: break-word;
