What is Morse code?

Morse code is a system of communication using dots and dashes. Engineers in the 1800s crafted Morse code to support telegraphy. 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.
