From what I recall .NET has built in almost all of International Components for Unicode features. You can still use ICU from C# if you want to, but I have never personally seen anyone do so.

See: GenICUWrapper A tool that generates a rudimentary C# wrapper around the C API of ICU4C. ICU Dotnet - .NET bindings for ICU http://site.icu-project.org/related or https://github.com/sillsdev/icu-dotnet

There are also .Net options for Hadoop so I am not sure what you mean exactly?

There are options, there are always options, but they are typically 2nd class, incomplete, poorly supported, or otherwise substandard.

For example, first line of the readme for icu-dotnet (emphasis mine):

> icu-dotnet is the C# wrapper for a subset of ICU4C

ICU4C has quite a bit of cruft at this point, so the useful subset is perfectly reasonable. You can always add anything to these layers you want, but it's really not worth the effort.
