Christoph Reck commented on VELOCITY-519:
-----------------------------------------

If inserting & automatic translation of unicode characters work, the template 
writer might predefine and use $tab, $CR, $LF constants instead of \t, \r \n 
thus keeping BC.

#set( $tab = "\u0009" )
...
#if( $samplestring.contains($tab) ) 

P.S. in the past I used the UrlDecoder to achieve this.
