What is Morse code?

Morse code converts characters into a sequence of signals. It was originally developed in the 19th century to send messages wirelessly. At first, it could only express a few characters with basic signals. Over time, it evolved into a full language of signals. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
