- mjevans 5y agoDepending on the library, (double) quoted fields _may_ be able to contain carriage returns (0x13) and/or line feeds (0x10). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, can be a real pain in the butt.
- justin_oaks 5y agoThe ideal would be a format that avoids characters that are common in data, but still allows a way to encode rare characters that are part of data. I think that was the motivation for multi-character delimiters like <% %> or {{ }} in templating languages.
- pishpash 5y agoUnicode just needs a single special delimiter character that is only used as a delimiter.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoIdeally a separate row and a column delimiter
- BenjiWiebe 5y agoAs I understand it, ASCII already has this. And isn't every ASCII codepoint valid UTF-8?
