Be careful with ICU. It fails to build from source on some platforms
on occasion. When it fails to build, dependent software becomes
unavailable to install. See, for example,
https://www.google.com/search?q=ICU+FTBFS . (FTBFS is Failure to Build
from Source).

Libidn2 and libunicode usually build on all platforms. I don't recall
them failing to build from source or blocking other software.
