What it is for
The digit 2. The digits occupy 48 to 57, so subtracting 48 from a digit's code gives its numeric value — the oldest trick in character handling.
Where the number comes from
The digits were placed at 48 to 57 so that 0 through 9 are contiguous and the low four bits of each code are the digit's own value: 50 in binary is 00110010, and the last four bits are 0010, which is 2.
