What is Morse code?

Morse code used dots and dashes to send messages. It was originally developed in the 19th century to send messages wirelessly. Initially, only a few letters were encoded using simple dots and spaces. The system was refined to represent every letter clearly. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
