Re:Show HN: Comma Separated Values (CSV) to Unicode Separate... by usrusr on Tuesday March 12, 2024 @10:30AM (#39679981)
I certainly hope that anyone proposing a Unicode CSV variant as a joke would pick some raised hand emoji as the separator and the victory gesture (0xe011, also popular as an approximation of how an air quote emoji would look like) as the quote character.

But we already keep stumbling over missing support for the on-demand quote character even with separators like comma and tab, using more exotic characters as the separator will only make it worse. The value of less escaping is negative.
