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. At first, it could only express a few characters with basic signals. The system was refined to represent every letter clearly. A more inclusive code for all letters was finalised in 1851 as International Morse.
