A boring Lesson:
There was only few kb of ram, and tapes as storage media; so they choose to convert: 1 character = 1 byte, but a byte contain a value from 0 to 255 and we've all this funny letters like: "Äöüèòà£$€ÆÅĈĎÿĜ".
So the Ascii tables was made (256 characters each), for 0-128 common letters (numbers, A to Z, a to z), from 129 to 255 custom language characters and special symbols.
For example you've:
On UK keyboard: "left shift", "| \", "Z"
On Netherlands keyboard: "left shift", "[]:", "Z"
On German keyboard: "left shift", "><", "Z"
