About the Morse Code Alphabet

Morse Code is a method of encoding text characters as sequences of dots (short signals) and dashes (long signals). It was developed in the 1830s-1840s for use with the telegraph and became the standard for long-distance communication. Each letter, number, and punctuation mark has a unique pattern of dots and dashes.

History

Morse Code was developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the 1830s-1840s for use with the electric telegraph. The original American Morse Code was later refined into International Morse Code in the 1850s. It was widely used for maritime and aviation communication until the late 20th century and is still used by amateur radio operators.
