If I’m not mistaken RFC 4180 says that quotes should be escaped by prepending them with another quote, so “” and not \” (these are not double quotes but my phone won’t let me type normal quotes), but yeah I guess it is a rather perverse value to put in a csv.

Note that virtually no one implements that RFC. CSV is merely a style of file, not a true file format.
That's how Excel does it though
