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. The original system used basic patterns to represent a limited set of characters. Eventually, Morse code expanded to cover the full alphabet. A more inclusive code for all letters was finalised in 1851 as International Morse.
