What is Morse code?

Morse code used dots and dashes to send messages. In the 1800s, Morse code helped pioneers communicate across distances. Early Morse code was minimal, encoding just a handful of letters. Its use grew, prompting the creation of a broader code set. A more inclusive code for all letters was finalised in 1851 as International Morse.
