What is Morse code?

Morse code is a simple but powerful communication system. Engineers in the 1800s crafted Morse code to support telegraphy. Early Morse code was minimal, encoding just a handful of letters. The system was refined to represent every letter clearly. A more inclusive code for all letters was finalised in 1851 as International Morse.
