What is Morse code?
Morse code is a system of communication using dots and dashes. It was originally developed in the 19th century to send messages wirelessly. Initially, only a few letters were encoded using simple dots and spaces. Its use grew, prompting the creation of a broader code set. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
