I was being sarcastic. :) The whole point of Unicode is to encode languages. We already handle Arabic, which means we should be able to handle most languages.

Even if we can’t convert a language into codepoints, we have the ability to record sound and images in resolutions beyond human acuity. You’re right the technology dictates form. The computers represent English different than print. Due to the limitations of previous technology, indented paragraphs are less common than an empty line between paragraphs. Same with single-width or double spaces after periods.
