What is Morse code?

Morse code is a simple but powerful communication system. In the 1800s, Morse code helped pioneers communicate across distances. At first, it could only express a few characters with basic signals. Over time, it evolved into a full language of signals. A more inclusive code for all letters was finalised in 1851 as International Morse.
