Most CSVs these days are separated by semicolons, so make sure to add one of those as well!

To protect against shitty databases, add one of every quote ("'`) to your password so inserting the password fails.

To fuck with computers that don't know how to do UTF8, add a few emoji.

To limit the risk of Chinese hackers, add a Taiwanese flag 🇹🇼. Their iPhones can't render that glyph!

To make sure millenials can't read your password, 𝔀𝓻𝓲𝓽𝓮 𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓽 𝓸𝓯 𝓲𝓽 𝓲𝓷 𝓬𝓾𝓻𝓼𝓲𝓿𝓮.

Then to top it all off, add a right-to-left override character to invert the direction of the password halfway through.

CSVs are supposed be comma-separated files. Microsoft deviated from the specification and decided some languages would use semicolons for CSVs.

Using comma would probably caused more problems as it is a decimal separator for those languages. My excel also uses semicolon in formulas instead of comma when separating parameters. Some VBA scripts break when using different language settings and some forumilas don't translate automatically to different locale so they just give an error. Overall using excel in different locale setups is annoying.

Best separator I have used is | as i have never seen it in the data as an input. Comma and semicolon both have caused issues in the past for me as they might pop up at wrong places.
