charCodeAt generates wrong code for comma

Why does code:

','.charCodeAt(0);

generates 44 even though charcode for comma is 188 (both by this table and when getting event.keyCode in keyup handler).

Characters and keys are different things.

charCodeAt returns the numeric Unicode value of the character.
keyCode from the KeyboardEvent represents a key on a keyboard.

Since there is no 1:1 mapping between characters and keys, they don't necessarily use the same values.
