icu.exe is a self-extract pre-built (by us) IBM ICU 52.1 library. The sources was downloaded from http://site.icu-project.org/download. Two customized data files was created using the tool at http://apps.icu-project.org/datacustom. One was created empty and saved to icudt52l_empty.dat. This file is used when building ICU, to make icudt a little stub. The file was saved in ICU sources directory at \source\data\in with name icudt52l.dat, before start ICU building process. The other is the data file we use in runtime. It was created selecting the options: - Charset Mapping Tables: ibm-943_P15A-2003 - Collators - Base data
