What is Morse Code?

Morse code is a method of encoding text characters using sequences of dots (·) and dashes (−). Developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the 1830s, it was the first widely adopted system for long-distance communication via telegraph. Each letter, digit and punctuation mark has a unique combination of dots and dashes.

Morse code is still used today in aviation, amateur radio (ham radio), military communication and as an accessibility tool. The most famous Morse code sequence is SOS (... --- ...), the international distress signal.
