RFC 4180 specifies escaping a double quote by putting another double
quote in front of it. However, RFC 4180's status is "Informational",
and it notes the existence of "considerable differences among
implementations". So you should consult the manual(s) for the software
that you expect to read the CSV you are generating and see what they
suggest.
