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. The refined system was officially named International Morse Code in 1851.
