If you were to use Python, you could use the xlsxwriter package and build
an actual Excel file and not worry about CSV.

That's normally *my* pat response when I wedge Python into the conversation.

However, the OP was very specific about needing to output CSV, and
even then, a dialect of CSV that is NOT produced by Excel. He started
the thread by saying that he's already got POI stuff set up to
generate Excel files, and that it's not meeting his requirements for
this particular task.
