Documentation
Definition
The text qualifier encapsulates cell values if you cannot avoid the field delimiter being part of the cell value.
It specifies where the cell value starts and ends. If the cell value contains the text qualifier, it must be protected by repeating the text qualifier.
When importing from the clipboard, no text qualifier is proposed by default. If necessary, specify the text qualifier used within the clipboard data.
When importing from a text file, a quotation mark (") is proposed as the text qualifier by default. Change the proposal if you use a different character as the text qualifier within the data of your file.
The text qualifier must be the first and last character of a cell, if maintained. Spaces between the cell delimiter and text qualifier are not allowed.

Example
The text qualifier is a quotation mark ("), and the cell value also contains this character as part of its original meaning. The cell must be expressed as follows:
This text contains a ""text qualifier"" within the cell value.
