What is Morse code?
Morse code is a simple but powerful communication system. It was originally developed in the 19th century to send messages wirelessly. Initially, only a few letters were encoded using simple dots and spaces. Eventually, Morse code expanded to cover the full alphabet. A more inclusive code for all letters was finalised in 1851 as International Morse.
