What is Morse code?

Morse code used dots and dashes to send messages. Back in the 19th century, Morse code emerged for long-distance communication. 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.
