How is Wingdings "easily readable"?

How about Arabic? Or Chinese, simplified Chinese is read by like a billion people, so clearly easily readable, it even has simplified in the name!

Wouldn't work. The law clearly specifies the exact text, and it's in English.

Can you write English with Chinese characters?

People certainly try with Cyrillic. And kanji?

Cyrillic seems really difficult with all the vowel shifts, English doesn't even make sense in its own alphabet. Something like "Ай эм де лорд, дай год." then?

It is easily readable wingdings. It doesn't say it has to be easily understood or interpreted.
