What is Morse code?

In Morse code, letters are represented by short and long marks. Back in the 19th century, Morse code emerged for long-distance communication. Morse started with a restricted symbol set for essential letters. The system was refined to represent every letter clearly. In 1851, a standardised form called International Morse Code was introduced.
