The binary system works this way: There are bits, and each one of them is either 0 or 1, i. e. off or on. 8 bits are arranged into one byte, and the alphanumeric characters are created with those bytes. As you can see, there can be quite a number of combinations within each byte. This is actually a simplified explanation. If you want to learn more, study computer science.

By the way, the third person to answer gave you the byte for each letter in his third column. See how the bits change?

I don't know where you got ones and twos from... it's usually zeros and ones, sometimes zeros and negative ones, and sometimes true and false.

You can represent anything with this simple two letter alphabet, you just have to use a combination of lots of zeros and ones. If you think about it, the English language uses an alphabet of only 26 letters, yet there are hundreds of thousands of words in the language! The concept is no different really.
