Would my code be uncrackable, and would the inconvenience of solving it if it is be worth more than the code itself?

I devised a code that includes all 26 letters of the alphabet, 22 extra characters that are diphthongs, digraphs, and sounds. There are another 11 that are individual words that I find to be used most common in things I write, 10 for the different numbers 0-9, 9 symbols for a few different kinds of punctuation, and 18 that are what I consider extra or filler characters that have no corresponding meaning or anything. Would it be indecipherable at the moment? Would a vigenere cipher with a code word/phrase be worth the effort of making it? Would making a 2304 character substitution with each character in the vigenere cipher increase the security? Would it be worth it to do all of this? Not that I have any reason to other than simple curiosity, but would all of this together create a code/cipher that was impossible to crack? And if it was, would I receive the same or similar results from a vigenere square with just the 26 letter alphabet with different characters for each letter in the individual lines of the square?

    With today's computers, I'm sure there are algorithms designed to crack codes more sophisticated than yours.
