Since there is no RFC or ISO standard for CSV, I'd say the answer was
"yes".

I just tried it with Excel, which is probably as close as we can get to the
canonical csv application.  It can read a UCS-16 csv file, but it
mishandles it.  It doesn't split at the commas.  It treats each line as a
single cell.
