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.

Here is a complete listing of HTML entities and a useful discussion of whitespace on Wikipedia.
