Bumps [com.ibm.icu:icu4j](https://github.com/unicode-org/icu) from 70.1 to
74.2.
Release notes
Sourced from https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/releases;>com.ibm.icu:icu4j's
releases.
ICU 74.2 updates to https://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-44#h.nvqx283jwsx;>CLDR
44.1 locale data. These are maintenance releases for ICU 74 and CLDR 44,
with limited sets of bug fixes and no API or structural changes.
The CLDR bug fix relevant for ICU is for some formatting patterns that
erroneously had two adjacent space characters. These are coalesced into one.
(https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/CLDR-17233;>CLDR-17233)
Important: DateFormat.getInstanceForSkeleton() and the
DateTimePatternGenerator sometimes used the wrong patterns because they failed
to use/inherit certain data (https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-22575;>ICU-22575 — CLDR
44 had removed some redundant data that ICU relied on)
For details, please see https://icu.unicode.org/download/74;>https://icu.unicode.org/download/74.
ICU 74.1
Unicode® ICU 74 updates to http://blog.unicode.org/2023/09/announcing-unicode-standard-version-151.html;>Unicode
15.1, and to https://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-44;>CLDR 44 locale data
with various additions and corrections.
ICU 74 and CLDR 44 are major releases, including a new version of Unicode
and major locale data improvements. They subsume the changes for the https://blog.unicode.org/2023/06/icu-732-cldr-431-released-gb18030.html;>ICU
73.2 and CLDR 43.1 maintenance releases.
Unicode 15.1 adds source code security mechanisms, improves line breaking
for southeast Asian scripts, and adds important CJK unified ideographs.
CLDR 44 has added or improved data for a number of languages that have
been newly added to ICU, and has improved measurement unit handling,
conversion, and formatting.
ICU 74 implements these improvements, adds new C APIs for locale
handling, adds a plug-in API for word segmentation, and switches the Java build
system to Maven.

ICU 73.2
We are pleased to announce the release of Unicode® ICU 73.2. It updates
to https://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-43#h.qobmda543waj;>CLDR
43.1 locale data with various additions and corrections. These are
maintenance releases for ICU 73 and CLDR 43, with limited sets of bug fixes and
no API or structural changes.
There are significant changes for https://ken-lunde.medium.com/the-gb-18030-2022-standard-3d0ebaeb4132;>GB18030-2022
compliance support:
CLDR extends the support for “short” Chinese sort orders to cover some
additional, required characters for Level 2. This is carried over into ICU
collation.
ICU has a modified character conversion table, mapping some GB18030
characters to Unicode characters that were encoded after GB18030-2005.
There are also changes for compatibility:
There are optional variants of time formats with AM/PM (only for
English) using ASCII spaces in CLDR that can also be used in ICU via custom
data generation. This is intended to help certain implementers transition to
the improved patterns, which have used a narrow no-break space between the time
and AM/PM since https://cldr.unicode.org/index/downloads/cldr-42#h.ck7cpcrqqrq0;>CLDR
42.
