Looks there's not a lot of changes https://icu.unicode.org/download/72

symbol after time is changed

- string(47) "Sunday, January 1, 2012 at 5:12:00 AM GMT+05:12"
+ string(49) "Sunday, January 1, 2012 at 5:12:00 AM GMT+05:12"

EDIT instead of 0x20 before AM now I see 0xE2 0x80 0xAF

Such changes are not unexpected/unprecedented; in this case the regular space is replaced by NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE. We need to split the affected test cases. I'm already working on a PR.

@andypost, can you check whether PR #9800 solves the issue for you, or does that need to be merged first?

Thank you! Queued the patch to our CI and will report results for 8.2 in ~1h
