A love letter to the CSV format (2024)
I would tell you to escape the newlines. Then you would know as much about CSV with multiline text in it as most other people in the world.

This is about dealing with csv files in the wild not about whether you can craft the perfect csv file. I have had years dealing with actual csv files from all corners of the world and all corners of sanity.

Are the CSVs with literal newlines in string fields in the room with us right now?

They're definitely in the room I'm in, yes.
