What is Morse code?

Morse code is a system of communication using dots and dashes. During the 19th century, scientists explored wireless message transmission. 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.
