Export delimiters: ~R - is this just a straight 2 character delimiter?

Group,
We are doing exports from Oracle to other platforms and having delimiter problems - users inserted pipes, backslashes, whatever in the varchar fields.
I am wondering if the ~R is a 2 character delimiter as it appears, or does it represent an escape sequence like \n (newline) or \t (tab) in Unix/Linux?
Our Oracle team says ~R is literal, but I suspect it may not be.
Thanks,
Vince

Group,

I looked at an extract using the ~R and it is a literal character. Got a developer to send me a file (like pulling teeth) and looked at it with a hex editor - sure enough, 2 chars, a tilde and an R.
Thanks anyway,
Vince
