Actually Latin is also Noth/South America and many more.
I tried to find something that could work for at lot more people
than ASCII.

Looking at IETF/W3C you find the standards from them very mych
USA-centric. Both American English spelling as well as preserving
ASCII at all cost. Backward compatibility is only ASCII, but many of us
have been using more characters than ASCII for a very long time.
No backward compatibility for us. And in for example Unicode
the ASCII code points do get a preferred handling that other code points
do not.

While I do not think ASCII is enough for use as a global fallback, an alphabet
with more letters could do.
Alternatively we could use just digits.
