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 originally used for telegraph communication and remains relevant in amateur radio, aviation, and emergency signaling.
International Morse Code
The International Morse Code standard assigns a unique pattern to each letter, number, and common punctuation mark. A dot is one unit long, a dash is three units, with one unit of silence between parts of the same character and three units between characters.
Common Morse Code Signals
- SOS: ··· −−− ··· (the universal distress signal)
- HELLO: ···· · ·−·· ·−·· −−−
- LOVE: ·−·· −−− ···− ·
