Hi Edwin,
There must be something wrong with your installation. I created the
attached tests (simply copied yours) and I'm getting the correct output. I
even set the locale to nl_BE, in case that was the problem.
My output was:

You might want to you libicudata.so file and make sure it is huge! That's
the "library" (it's more of a resource file) where all this Unicode stuff
resides. There's a chance yours was not built with all the resources. As an
example, here's mine:
$ ls -lh /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicudata.so.55.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25M May 2 09:50
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicudata.so.55.1
As you can see, it's 25MB in size.
