-The data is a UTF-8 encoded unicode stream. Lines (=records) are separated using LF (newline, U+000A). There are no header/title records. Fields (=columns) are separated by TAB (U+0009). In this scheme, two characters within column values need to be escaped: TAB and LF. For this, they are preceded using backslash (U+005C) when they are part of cell content and not of TSV coding. Of course, this means that backslashes in content are escaped the same way.
