Someone help me out here. In the video, they show as representing "A". But that is actually decimal 129 not 65. Am I wrong?

As number are tagged with texts.. and based on a combination of number we get a certain text.. I'm curious to understand how and what is the machine that initially understand if certain number is certain text and then how is it displayed in a certain way. If computer just understand 0 and 1. How is the shape "A" for example arrived at.

My question might be extremely basic. But just curious to understand 😊
