> like there are no "GermanFrench-English dictionary"

But there is a single Latin alphabet

Except there are standalone Greek/Coptic as well as Cyrillic ranges in Unicode. Latin A, Greek A, and Russian A each has its own versions in Unicode, so that Latin or Russian fonts don't have to be deleted from apps and operating systems configured for Greek usage to show Greek :alpha: consistent with Greek :phi: without getting it substituted by lowercase Latin `a`.

So? Unicode isn't in either of the extremes, so it didn't unify Latin and Greek (using language tags to differentiate), but then it also didn't separate German and French, so your GermanFrench dictionary still falls flat, it's doesn't help in picking the dividing line

Unifying I and I was also a mistake although that one at least preceded Unicode.
