What is Morse code?
Morse code is a system of communication using dots and dashes. It was originally developed in the 19th century to send messages wirelessly. Early Morse code was minimal, encoding just a handful of letters. Eventually, Morse code expanded to cover the full alphabet. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
