What is Morse code?

Morse code used dots and dashes to send messages. In the 1800s, Morse code helped pioneers communicate across distances. Initially, only a few letters were encoded using simple dots and spaces. The system was refined to represent every letter clearly. A more inclusive code for all letters was finalised in 1851 as International Morse.
