Letters are characters. If you didn't, they would be like variables. (ie x or y, with a value pertaining to them.)

This indicates to the python engine that the item is either a character or a number. You can use the characters '1' '2' '3' to create words and phrases, and numbers 1 2 3 to do maths.
