Summary
🤩
RockstarRichard Ishida is a distinguished internationalisation expert with over 25 years of deep involvement in Unicode and 16 years of focused experience making the Web truly multilingual through his long service at W3C. Now semi-retired as a Distinguished Expert mentoring W3C efforts, he excels at identifying practical gaps that prevent people from using their own languages and scripts on the Web and translating those needs into specification and implementation guidance. A prolific educator and contributor to Unicode since 1995—who has presented a foundational tutorial at dozens of conferences and earned a Unicode Bulldog award—he combines editorial leadership with hands-on technical writing for standards such as CSS (notably working on ruby annotations). Based in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina while connected to the UK, he brings a rare blend of historical perspective on writing systems and pragmatic standards work that advances real-world interoperability.
