About Morse Code

Morse code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks. Each character is represented by a unique sequence of dots and dashes. It was developed by Samuel Morse and Alfred Vail in the 1830s for use with the telegraph and was crucial for early long-distance communication.
