What is Morse code?

Morse code converts characters into a sequence of signals. It was originally developed in the 19th century to send messages wirelessly. 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.
