What is Morse code?

Morse code used dots and dashes to send messages. In the 1800s, Morse code helped pioneers communicate across distances. Morse started with a restricted symbol set for essential letters. Over time, it evolved into a full language of signals. A more inclusive code for all letters was finalised in 1851 as International Morse.
