Morse code encodes text as sequences of short and long signals — dots (·) and dashes (−). Developed in the 1830s, it was the first digital communication system, predating computers by over a century.
Famous Morse code sequences:
- SOS: · · · − − − · · · (distress signal)
- A: · −
- E: · (shortest code — most common letter in English)
- Q: − − · − (origin of "Q codes" in radio communication)
Today Morse code is used in amateur (ham) radio, aviation, assistive technology for people with disabilities, military communication, and educational/hobbyist contexts. The international SOS distress signal is still standard in aviation and maritime law.
