What is Morse code?

Morse code used dots and dashes to send messages. In the 1800s, Morse code helped pioneers communicate across distances. At first, it could only express a few characters with basic signals. As adoption increased, a more complete version was developed. A more inclusive code for all letters was finalised in 1851 as International Morse.
