Those are good discussions. Let me throw out a few possibilities based on what I
have heard:
- "can represent all of the computerized text in the world"
("all" being slightly broad; there will always be some exceptions, if someone is
using a specialized font to represent characters not in Unicode. Maybe
"essentially all"? Could be "all" if the private use zones are counted.)
- "can represent all of the text for the written languages of the world used in
commerce and publishing"
(Not very snappy. Same caveat for "all" applies)
- "can represent all of the text for commerce and publishing used around the
world"
(Hmmm)
Add in the sentence somewhere:
"More than half of the world's population uses writing systems other than Latin
alphabet."
