**Delimiters for Rows and Columns**
Rows are typically separated by line breaks (\n or \r\n), while columns (fields) are separated by a specific delimiter. Although commas are the most common delimiter for fields, other characters, such as semicolons (;), are commonly used in regions where commas are decimal separators (e.g., Germany). Tabs (\t) are also used as delimiters in some cases, with such files often referred to as "TSV" (Tab-Separated Values).

Different encodings are used. Most modern CSV files use UTF-8 encoding, but older systems might use others like ASCII or ISO-8859.
If the file is transferred or shared between different systems, it is a good practice to explicitly define the encoding used, to avoid issues with character misinterpretation.
