# Upgrading to v1.74.0
## Unicode support in user search
This version introduces optional support for an [improved user search dealing with Unicode characters](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/14464).
If you want to take advantage of this feature you need to install PyICU,
the ICU native dependency and its development headers
so that PyICU can build since no prebuilt wheels are available.
You can follow [the PyICU documentation](https://pypi.org/project/PyICU/) to do so,
and then do `pip install matrix-synapse[icu]` for a PyPI install.
Docker images and Debian packages need nothing specific as they already
include or specify ICU as an explicit dependency.
