we're not speaking about a computer font, we're speaking about typography in general. the reason I mentioned them is because the ubiquity was forced by restrictions. we used to type non-english letters without diacritics before different languages got support online. now we don't have those restrictions either. what you said is not universal; there are different kinds for different uses. just like uppercase and lowercase letters.
