Morse Code

Morse code is a character encoding system that represents letters and numbers using sequences of dots (short signals) and dashes (long signals). It was invented by Samuel Morse in the 1830s for telegraph communication.

A dot (.) is a short signal and a dash (-) is a long signal (3x the dot length). Letters are separated by spaces, and words are separated by slashes (/) or larger gaps.

SOS is ... --- ... (three dots, three dashes, three dots). It was chosen as the international distress signal because it is simple and unmistakable, not because it stands for "Save Our Souls".
