I have installed 3 different versions of node, and when I try to initialise a new project using npm create ..., I encountered this error:

And then I decided to check which version of node was linked, and ran
node --version which again returned:

tl;dr: I tried initializing a new project using npm create but encountered an unexpected error, which further led me to encountering the same error when I was investigating my node version

What worked for me:
brew update
brew upgrade icu4c
brew link --force icu4c
brew reinstall node
After this, both my node --version and npm create commands worked as expected
