What is Morse code?

Morse code converts characters into a sequence of signals. Back in the 19th century, Morse code emerged for long-distance communication. At first, it could only express a few characters with basic signals. Its use grew, prompting the creation of a broader code set. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
