What is Morse code?

Morse code is a simple but powerful communication system. Engineers in the 1800s crafted Morse code to support telegraphy. At first, it could only express a few characters with basic signals. Over time, it evolved into a full language of signals. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
