Sorry, sent to early. From LOs configure.ac:

if test "$ICU_MAJOR" -ge "59"; then
    # As of ICU 59 it defaults to typedef char16_t UChar; which is available
    # with -std=c++11 but not all external libraries can be built with that,
    # for those use a bit-compatible typedef uint16_t UChar; see
    # icu/source/common/unicode/umachine.h
    ICU_UCHAR_TYPE="-DUCHAR_TYPE=uint16_t"
else
    ICU_UCHAR_TYPE=""
fi
