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. Eventually, Morse code expanded to cover the full alphabet. A more inclusive code for all letters was finalised in 1851 as International Morse.
