Can't figure out /t

I'm completely new to C++ and I was reading a tutorial from this site. I tried to add /t to a string, but I can't actually get a tab. Here's the code:

 
cout << "I can't tab! " << ":(" << '/t' << "Seriously!";


And the result was; "I can't tab! :(12148Seriously! I'm not sure what caused those numbers to appear, but I can safely assume I'm doing something wrong. Can anyone tell me what it is that I'm doing wrong please?
Wrong slash. It's this:
'\t'
Oh wow. I feel really stupid. Thanks.
It happens to everyone. ;)
