What is Morse code?

Morse code is a simple but powerful communication system. During the 19th century, scientists explored wireless message transmission. Morse started with a restricted symbol set for essential letters. Over time, it evolved into a full language of signals. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
