What is Morse code?
Morse code is a simple but powerful communication system. Engineers in the 1800s crafted Morse code to support telegraphy. At first, it could only express a few characters with basic signals. Eventually, Morse code expanded to cover the full alphabet. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
