It can be done in either in Windows 10 or Fedora 34 Linux Workstation Edition, but only copy & paste cell by cell, not by a cell range.

So CHAR(9) doesn't seem to get translated for the clipboard to \t. If you copy the tab character from a notepad and paste it into your formula inseat of CHAR(9), then everything works as expected. The issue arises from the failure to convert CHAR(9) to \t in the clipboard.
