To type tab character on command-line for example while supplying delimeter to cut one can use keys: <Ctrl>+V followed by <TAB> to type tab. The tab should be typed between double quotes(" ") so that shell does not treats it as white-space. If quotes are not desired then IFS can be changed so that tab is no longer field separator.
