What is Morse code?

Morse code converts characters into a sequence of signals. Engineers in the 1800s crafted Morse code to support telegraphy. Morse started with a restricted symbol set for essential letters. The system was refined to represent every letter clearly. A more inclusive code for all letters was finalised in 1851 as International Morse.
