What is Morse code?

Morse code used dots and dashes to send messages. During the 19th century, scientists explored wireless message transmission. Early Morse code was minimal, encoding just a handful of letters. Its use grew, prompting the creation of a broader code set. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
