Most likely Jesus was writing the ten commandments. The woman broke one, but the other commandments had been broken by others. The writing would then reinforce Jesus's answer, "Let the one among you who is with out sin be first to cast a stone at her". Using his finger to write in the dirt would break the "commandments of men" that the Pharisees held to be more important than those of God. The words that Jesus wrote, if they were Law, were left unrecorded, perhaps to emphasise the mercy evident in what Jesus said.

John 8:4-8 They said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
Scholars generally think he wrote the word "Aquittal".
And yes stating that the rooster crowing three times was more significant than what he wrote because Jesus predicted it first and then it happened. That passage showed that Jesus knew what was to come and that he was more than a prophet.

What Jesus wrote in the sand was important because it brought conviction of sin to the Pharisees that were accusing a young woman.
Jesus' knowledge about anyone's sin is enough to bring conviction, and motivate them to righteousness.
What was written in the sand was important to the Pharisees.
If you stood before Him and He wrote something in the sand, it would be a sign to you athat He knows you thoroughly, yet as a compassionate Savior, He does not broadcast your sin to the whole world.
What He wrote was not as important as the fact that He knows.

.The priests that picked out the books to actually put in the Bible had many more to pick from...and the authors of those books probably wrote a "Reader's Digest" version of what they could have written (remember, they were doing it by hand), so God only knows what more could have been included. I guess we should be happy with what we have.

Scriptural scholars say that Jesus wrote the sins of those who were accusing the woman caught in adultery, and this made them shy away, and there was no merit in putting these sins into the Gospel.

Did he not draw a fish in the sand-the symbol of Jewish resistance to the Romans? Was he therefore signalling his approval of their terrorist activities?

Obviously the rooster was more important.
