What is Morse code?

Morse code used dots and dashes to send messages. Back in the 19th century, Morse code emerged for long-distance communication. Early Morse code was minimal, encoding just a handful of letters. The system was refined to represent every letter clearly. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
