No, but such fields must be enclosed by double quotes, as documented
in RFC 4180 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4180
Consider this output:
psql> COPY (values (1, E'ab\ncd'), (2,'efgh')) TO STDOUT CSV;
1,"ab
cd"
2,efgh
That's 2 records on 3 lines.
If you feed this to a parser and it chokes on it, it means that it's
not a valid CSV parser.
