Before 2010 and UTF-8 everywhere , I regularly had the misfortune of dealing with multi encoding CSVs. Someone got CSVs from multiple sources and catted them together. One source uses ISO 8859-1, another -15, another UTF-8, sometimes a greek or russian or even ebcdic was in there. Fun trying to guess where one stopped and the other begun . Of course, none of them were consistent crlf or escape wise.
