Wikipedia explains it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_character#How_control_characters_map_to_keyboards
ASCII-based keyboards have a key labelled "Control", "Ctrl", or
(rarely) "Cntl" which is used much like a shift key,
being pressed in combination with another letter or symbol key. In
one implementation, the control key generates
the code 64 places below the code for the (generally) uppercase
letter it is pressed in combination with (i.e., subtract
64 from ASCII code value in decimal of the (generally) uppercase
letter). The other implementation is to take the
ASCII code produced by the key and bitwise AND it with 31, forcing
bits 6 and 7 to zero.
