This might be a funny question but I want to know the reason.

Please look at the icon of a CSV file.
You can see quot;a,quot; located at the bottom right on it.
quot;,quot; (comma) might be understandable because of Comma Separated Values.
Where does quot;aquot; come from?

Maybe to indicate that it's text (or an ASCII file)????

Thanks.

quot;aquot; for quot;ASCIIquot;?
quot;aquot; for quot;abcquot; as a typical text string?

I think each of them reasonable.
Any other idea?

I would SUGGEST that the A indictes values, and the comma indicates
they are comma seperated, but as it's only an icon....!Either one works ok for me!

The quot;aquot; designates that values are text type?
