Not entirely.

Humans have made pretty much every form of writing system imaginable.

If there is an assumption to be had in latin, there is another script 
that violates it so hard that you now need a table for it.

I find Unicode to be pretty impressive. It is composed of some of the 
hardest parts of human society to represent and it does so with support 
of thousands of years of content and not only that but it is backwards 
and forwards compatible!

Date/time is easy in comparison lol!
