Fun Fact
Many data systems automatically wrap text in quotes when exporting CSV files. This dates back to early spreadsheet programs that used quoting rules to prevent delimiter conflicts.
Historical Context
The concept of quoting fields originates from early database and spreadsheet systems in the 1970s and 1980s. Standardized formats such as CSV adopted quoting rules to preserve text integrity during data exchange between different software systems. Modern data cleaning tools evolved to reverse this formatting when structured quoting is no longer required.
