What is Morse code?

Morse code used dots and dashes to send messages. Engineers in the 1800s crafted Morse code to support telegraphy. Early Morse code was minimal, encoding just a handful of letters. As adoption increased, a more complete version was developed. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
