    It contains every letter of the alphabet!
    Although I don’t think it would be unique in that respect, as I’m sure there are other sentences with every letter of the alphabet (and shorter ones, too).

    it uses all the letters of the alphabet. I am not sure if it would be possible to use all the letters of the alphabet in a sentence only once or at least the same amount of times.
