Emacs uses overlays / prettify-symbols-mode / etc which modify how data is displayed to user.

I like to copy visible content as I see it. For example I aligned columns in CSV file with M-x csv-align-fields but content is copied as it in file (with commas instead of aligned columns).

    I haven't tested this, but you may be interested in https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/OverlaysToText. The problem with overlays is that they are generally not considered a part of a buffer's contents. – Basil Feb 10 '18 at 20:01
