What is Morse code?

In Morse code, letters are represented by short and long marks. During the 19th century, scientists explored wireless message transmission. Morse started with a restricted symbol set for essential letters. Eventually, Morse code expanded to cover the full alphabet. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
