What is Morse code?

Morse code is a simple but powerful communication system. Engineers in the 1800s crafted Morse code to support telegraphy. The original system used basic patterns to represent a limited set of characters. Its use grew, prompting the creation of a broader code set. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
