I don't know how you are getting the data you are using but I have  
created fields with tabs & unicode that display properly in tables.   
Doing something like:

put uniEncode (tNewMovieName & tab & pMoviePath), "UTF16") into tNewLine
set unicodeText of field "Myfield" to tNewLine

works in most cases.  You would have to change the encoding depending  
on the language.
