IC - internal connection - could be connected to any element or support inside. EL84s from different makers and vintages vary as to how the IC pins are connected (recent Russian ones don't show any "shorts" to these pins in a tube tester - many vintage ones do).

I wouldn't risk it unless a pin says "NC" - no connection.
