  3. Go to ICU downloads and download the binary distribution for
  your system. An exact match is not important, provided that the
  binary files are compatible. If you have problems building the
  converter, see the <a

  roject.org%2F">ICU user guide</a>.

  This is no longer possible as after migration to github, ICU old
  binaries are not kept. The customer needs to build binaries by
  themselves.
