Printing and scanning a Tab character

Hi all
 
I am currently using the GX420d and I am trying to code some text data into it to print and then scan it.
I have managed to find out now that I can use "\&" to create a carriage return between text data.
But whats the character I need to use to add a tab between data. For example "Surname {TAB} Firstname " ?
I cant just use space because I need specifically the character set for TAB.
Also I am a developer in C# and I have tried "(char)9" but that does not get translated into TAB when printed because when I try to scan it, it does not show the TAB spacing.
I want to print it into ^B7, 2D bar code.
Any ideas?
 
Thanks
CB

Refer to "How can i print special separator like GS RS EOT in QR code using ZPL?" for encoding special characters in QR code and barcode, including HT(horizontal tab, \09). If \09 doesn't work in ^B7, then try \t for tab.
