I do not understand this statement.

I wonder whether my change in the source/data/unidata/UnicodeData.txt

Please be informed that it is not recommended that you change the
definitions of code points in UnicodeData.txt file. If you changed
definitions in UnicodeData.txt and then ran gendtjar.pl, then yes the
changes are taken transferred to data files generated and hence icudata.jar.
If you change the data then please make sure to change the
manifest.stubfiles to reflect that fact that you have modified
icu4j.jar.
