What is Morse code?

Morse code used dots and dashes to send messages. Engineers in the 1800s crafted Morse code to support telegraphy. At first, it could only express a few characters with basic signals. The system was refined to represent every letter clearly. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
