Probably from LTLIBUNISTRING. See:

$ cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/libidn2.pc
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=${prefix}
includedir=${prefix}/include
libdir=${prefix}/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Name: libidn2
Description: Library implementing IDNA2008 and TR46
Version: 2.0.2
Cflags: -I${includedir}
Libs: -L${libdir} -lidn2
Libs.private:  -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lunistring
-R/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
