So to be clear this database is not using ICU, but collations from libc?

How was the database installed?

In first post you had:

gnumed_v22=> select *, pg_encoding_to_char(collencoding) from
pg_collation where collname = 'br_FR(at)euro';
-[ RECORD 1 ]-------+-----------
oid | 12413
collname | br_FR(at)euro
collnamespace | 11
collowner | 10
collprovider | c
collisdeterministic | t
collencoding | 16
collcollate | br_FR(at)euro
collctype | br_FR(at)euro
colliculocale |
collversion | 2.35
pg_encoding_to_char | LATIN9

where collprovider c means libc and collversion 2.35.

Not exactly sure how that interacts with from here:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/catalog-pg-collation.html

collversion text

Provider-specific version of the collation. This is recorded when the
collation is created and then checked when it is used, to detect changes
in the collation definition that could lead to data corruption.
