Better are "horizontal tab" (used in the [JLS](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se13/html/jls-3.html#jls-3.10.6)), "tab character" (used in [`Pattern`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/13/docs/api/java.base/java/util/regex/Pattern.html), "horizontal tabulation" or the like.

> The terms "tab character" or "horizontal tab" refer to the ASCII tab character itself. Since a tab character isn't a fixed number of spaces, changing it to "size of a tab character" could be misleading. I'd be fine with another alternative, though, if someone could come up with a better one.

We are referring to the character here aren't we ? ie the actual character and the rest of it is about how it renders.
Paraphrasing the java doc it says :
If you display <the tab character> it will display as N instances of <the space character>
