International Morse Code

International Morse Code is a system of encoding letters, numbers, and punctuation using sequences of dots (short signals) and dashes (long signals). Developed in the 1830s and 1840s, it enables efficient communication over long distances via telegraph, radio, or light signals. Each character is uniquely represented by a combination of dots and dashes, with standardized timing to distinguish them. This code allows for rapid transmission and decoding of messages even with limited technology or noisy environments. Its simplicity and reliability have made it a fundamental tool in maritime, aeronautical, and emergency communications worldwide.
