What is a .ICU file?
.ICU is a file in the Electronics, runtime & backups (more) category. Analyser identifies it and reads the metadata in its header, right in your browser.
- Did you know
- A .icu file holds data for ICU, the International Components for Unicode library that powers text handling - sorting, dates, number formats - in many languages.
- ICU, maintained under the Unicode Consortium, provides the text and locale handling behind Android, Chrome and countless other platforms.
- The .icu data is the compiled locale and Unicode tables an application loads to format and compare text correctly worldwide.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify runtime, electronics and backup files: Unreal third-party software notices (.tps), ASP.NET browser definitions (.browser), Python extension modules (.pyd DLLs), ICU internationalisation data (.icu), Proteus Design Suite backups (.pdsbak) and generic backup copies (.bak / .old).
- Depth of analysis
- .ICU is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .ICU file
- Drag a .ICU file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
