What is Morse code?

Morse code converts characters into a sequence of signals. Back in the 19th century, Morse code emerged for long-distance communication. 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.
