Yes, it's a variant of MIT but...

cat hb-icu-le/COPYING

"The contents of this directory are licensed under the ICU license.
See file license.html."

So, this should be:

LICENSE = "MIT & ICU"

even though ICU is in itself an MIT variant, it should still be called
out as we have the ICU generic listed in files/common-licenses.

This is correct. There are a lot of headers with licenses but at a
glance they all appear to read as MIT.
