Best Answer

When you press the letter C on a keyboard you are closing a switch that sends a Binary signal to the OS to produce the letter you are typing.

Each letter is a byte and each byte is comprised as a series of 8 bits.

The bits are a binary code comprised of 1s and 0s so the letter C is

C - 01000011 (Capital C)

c - 01100011 (Lowercase c)

Everything you see on your computer can be broken down to its binary component. The computer takes this information and produces what you see on your computer.

To clarify Binary, think of it as a series of switches 1 being on and 0 being off and the pattern made decides what the byte is.
