What is Morse code?
Morse code converts characters into a sequence of signals. Engineers in the 1800s crafted Morse code to support telegraphy. At first, it could only express a few characters with basic signals. Over time, it evolved into a full language of signals. That enhanced version, created in 1851, is still known today as International Morse Code.
