You're not far off, except that you probably mean we should all speak
one human language (like English or Farsi or whatever). I agree, but
only if you mean we should all speak the same character language. It
should be UTF-8.

All hail UTF-8!

Seriously, switch to UTF-8.

That reminds me of the old joke, about England deciding to switch from driving on the (wrong) left side of the road instead of the (correct) right side. To minimise disruptions, they were going to do it in stages; the trucks first, the cars a week later.

Anyway, there is a flaw in the above suggestions, if taken together : if we all spoke and wrote the same language, there would be no need for Unicode nor for multi-byte character encodings.
Unless the language was Chinese of course.
