About Morse Code

Morse Code is a character encoding system that represents text using sequences of dots (.) and dashes (-). Developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the 1830s for use with the electric telegraph, it was the primary means of long-distance communication for over a century.

Each letter and number is represented by a unique combination of short signals (dots) and long signals (dashes). For example, SOS — the famous distress signal — is encoded as '... --- ...' (three dots, three dashes, three dots). Though largely replaced by modern digital communication, Morse code remains relevant in amateur radio, aviation, and emergency communication.
