What is Morse code?
Morse code is a system of communication using dots and dashes. Back in the 19th century, Morse code emerged for long-distance communication. The original system used basic patterns to represent a limited set of characters. Over time, it evolved into a full language of signals. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
