Answer 1

My objective:

I needed to assign the value "{CR}{LF}" to a string variable delimiter.

Code c#:

string delimiter= "{{CR}}{{LF}}";

Note: To escape special characters normally you have to use . For opening curly bracket {, use one extra like {{. For closing curly bracket }, use one extra }}.
