ASCII 0/9 is decimal 009, hex 09, octal 011, bits 00001001: called ^I, HT, TAB
Official name: Character Tabulation
Other names: Horizontal Tab, \t

It's what it's always been for at least 30 years...

relevent for a particular (set of) ascii editor? There is no such

a different character, and not a tab!
