Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install libicu on Fedora 34.

What is `libicu`

The International Components for Unicode (ICU) libraries provide robust and full-featured Unicode services on a wide variety of platforms. ICU supports the most current version of the Unicode standard, and they provide support for supplementary Unicode characters (needed for GB 18030 repertoire support). As computing environments become more heterogeneous, software portability becomes more important. ICU lets you produce the same results across all the various platforms you support, without sacrificing performance. It offers great flexibility to extend and customize the supplied services. libicu 67.1 6.fc34 x86_64 9.7 M icu-67.1-6.fc34.src.rpm fedora International Components for Unicode - libraries http MIT and UCD and Public Domain The International Components for Unicode (ICU) libraries provide robust and full-featured Unicode services on a wide variety of platforms.
