Can Kusto string column store a tab character?

Viewed 136

Can a Kusto string datatype contain tab character? I am asking this since we are trying to export data to external table with TSV as its format. So I am trying to assess if there can be a situation where a string column of a table being queried for exporting to external table can contain a tab character. If so , the export will not be any good , the export itself might succeed but the data won't be readable.

Yes, Kusto strings are stored in UTF-8, so tabs are definitely supported.

Here's a quick test in Kusto Explorer:
