Akilan '\t' is a metacharacter for character 9, which is Ctrl+I (capital i), best known as the tab character. Different devices and consoles may represent it differently. Some output a set number of spaces. Some move the cursor how ever many spaces are needed to reach the next tab stop column that is usually configurable in the console or device settings. In summary, it is used for a crude and obsolete technique to align columns.
