256-bit means there is 256 characters within the encryption alphabet.

Just like Binary, Bi-Nary, Bi meaning 2. And when you speak Binary, you only use 2 characters. 0 and 1.

with 256-bit there is 256 different characters ranging from 0 to a to # or even different lang characters. 256 is a large number and is hard to crack.
