Show HN: ZSV (Zip Separated Values) columnar data ...
0x1E is the record separator, in ASCII precisely for this purpose. Too bad it’s not popular, here we’re stuck with inferior TSV/CSV

I can't easily type that out - and once the format can't be read / editing in a simple text editor, I'm starting to lean towards a nice binary format like protobuf.

Strings can contain 0x1E, so it has exactly the same issues as a tab character but with all the downsides of it not being an easy, “simple” character.
