   @coolbean Indeed - you can use every single visible ASCII and UTF-8 character without any need for escaping.
   
   At most you'd need to filter the separator characters from the input, but such characters are almost never used, thus it would likely only have the wanted effect of removing unwanted bytes from the input.

     Why do many fonts not include characters for ASCII control characters?
     
     Rather than csv cancer, the built-in ASCII characters for record separator and unit separator could be used - but of course keyboards don't allow that to be typed in and most fonts don't even show RS & US characters;
