I don't understand where you're getting that idea from.

(info "(elisp) Keyboard Events"):

    There are two kinds of input you can get from the keyboard: ordinary
    keys, and function keys.  Ordinary keys correspond to (possibly
    modified) characters; the events they generate are represented in Lisp
    as characters.
