If you want to add a single space, Type &nbsp;

If you want to add 2 spaces, Type &ensp;

If you want to add 4 spaces, Type &emsp; (4 spaces is a tab space)

You can also use &nbsp (non-breaking spaces) for making white spaces in HTML lines.

"Warning ! Sorry Cash Pay is less than this &nbsp;&nbsp; month\'s installment. Please pay the  &nbsp; right amount."

If you put your string in an HTML <pre> element then it can have a tab character. String "Warning! \t error" set to be put into the innerHTML of <pre id="output"></pre> will result in
:Warning! error.

&#09; is TAB character in ASCII. But according to html spec all white space characters will be stripped to a single character. There are other white space characters too. Like &thinsp;, &emsp; and &ensp; You can try them too.

Update

It seems &emsp; gives a spacing of tab size. See the following

  • a&emsp;b rendered as a b
  • a&ensp;b rendered as a b
  • a&thinsp;b rendered as a b
  • a&nbsp;b rendered as a b
  • a&#09;b rendered as a b
