Tab character does not produce a Tab on Display, prints what looks like the degree symbol centered on the line?

Like the title says, Tab character does not produce a Tab on Display, prints what looks like the degree symbol centered on the line.
Printing the same line on the serial monitor displays a Tab, like it should, but the display does not print a Tab, it prins something akin to the degree symbol.

       display.print(stockName[i] +" "+"\t"+"\t"+"\t"+"$"+stockPrice[i]);   prints... TDooo$77.88 (the ooo, is printed vertically centerered on the line)

        Serial.println(stockName[i] +" "+"\t"+"\t"+"\t" +"$"+stockPrice[i]);  prints... TD               $77.88 (Like it should)

Why does the display.print not recognize the Tab character, or, what character do I need to use to get a Tab? I would like to align data in columns on the display, but, no go withut Tab working
