In fact, the ability to write was the more rare of the 2 skills, and if Jesus could write he would have been a scribe, not a carpenter.
So, except for some fundies and evangelicals who will maintain Jesus could 'do anything', the reality is he could not write, and there is ZERO basis for asserting He could.
Period.
And actually, if Yeshua existed at all, he probably couldn't read, either. Only the wealthy young men had the luxury of education.
