That is correct, libicu is v66 in ubuntu 20.04. Perhaps something funky
happened in your update from 18.10 to 20.04. I would recommend removing
libreoffice and reinstalling it
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
$ sudo apt install libreoffice
Then lowriter should work.

Title:
Libre Office doesn't start at all (wrong library version)
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I'm unable to start any of the libre office collection (writer, calc, etc).
When trying to open a
file the system goes busy for a little while (as shown by the pointer) then
nothing happens. If I try from the menu nothing happens at all. Finally, if I
try starting the component from the command line I get the following error
message:
hobbit:~ $ lowriter
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared
libraries: libicui18n.so.63: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
Now, the libicu is (obviously) installed, but the installed version is
66, not 63. Version 66, BTW, is the one listed as dependency for the
libre office package.
I do not exactly know when libreoffice stopped working after the
update to focal, as I do not use it extensively
