Description

Description:
I've encountered an issue where the ICU (International Components for Unicode) DLLs from version 64 appear to be incompatible with the data files from ICU version 68. According to the documentation, these versions should be compatible. This incompatibility is causing problems in my application, as it relies on the interoperability of these components.

Steps to Reproduce:

Install ICU version 64 and integrate the DLLs into the application.
Upgrade the ICU data files to version 68.
Run the application and observe the compatibility issue.
Expected Behavior:
The ICU 64 DLLs should be compatible with the ICU 68 data files, allowing for smooth operation of the application.

I would appreciate any insights or solutions to resolve this compatibility issue. Thank you.
