We prove that if $$n >k^2$$ then a k-dimensional linear code of length n over $${\mathbb F}_{q^2}$$ has a truncation which is linearly equivalent to a Hermitian self-orthogonal linear code. In the contrary case we prove that truncations of linear codes to codes equivalent to Hermitian self-orthogonal linear codes occur when the columns of a generator matrix of the code do not impose independent conditions on the space of Hermitian forms. In the case that there are more than n common zeros to the set of Hermitian forms which are zero on the columns of a generator matrix of the code, the additional zeros give the extension of the code to a code that has a truncation which is equivalent to a Hermitian self-orthogonal code.
