> Unicode is a standard that aims to unify all human languages, both past and present, and make them work with computers. This is doubly wrong. First, it conflates languages and writing systems. Malay and English use the same writing system but are different languages. American Sign Language is a language, but it has no standard or widely-adopted writing system. Hakka is a language, but Hakka speakers normally write in Modern Standard Mandarin, a different language. Second, it's not that case that Unicode aims to encode all writing systems. For example, there are many hobbyist neographies (constructed writing systems) which will not be included in Unicode.
