What is Morse code?

Morse code is a simple but powerful communication system. Back in the 19th century, Morse code emerged for long-distance communication. Morse started with a restricted symbol set for essential letters. The system was refined to represent every letter clearly. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
