What is Morse code?

Morse code used dots and dashes to send messages. In the 1800s, Morse code helped pioneers communicate across distances. 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.
