Tab characters. The most known and common tab is a horizontal tabulation (HT) or character tabulation, which in ASCII has the decimal character code of 9, and may be referred to as Ctrl + I or ^I.
Adding Tab Space in HTML Unlike with HTML space, there is no particular HTML tab character you could use. You could technically use the 	 entity as the tab is character 9 in the ASCII.
The \t metacharacter matches horizontal tabs (tabulators).
It depends on which character set you want to use. There's no tab entity defined in ISO-8859-1 HTML - but there are a couple of whitespace characters other than such as   ,   ,and   . In ASCII, 	 is a tab.
Try 	. The TAB is ASCII character #9.
But it may not show up as you'd expect, anyway, since HTML ignores whitespace in most instances.
