It is very simple, they are the keys on the main part of the keyboard
either alone or with the shift key:  three rows of letters, one row
of digits or SHIFT-punctuation, the last three of each row also 
being punctuation.  Of these the SHIFT+3 and the key to the left of 1
are, exceptionally, also nonstandard characters.  

They produce visible characters with codes <=127, and in fact >=32
(below 32 are nonprintable control characters produced with CTRL+key).
