What is Morse code?

In Morse code, letters are represented by short and long marks. Back in the 19th century, Morse code emerged for long-distance communication. Initially, only a few letters were encoded using simple dots and spaces. The system was refined to represent every letter clearly. A more inclusive code for all letters was finalised in 1851 as International Morse.
