How does Morse code work?

Morse code, developed in the 1830s for the telegraph, encodes each letter as a unique sequence of short and long signals — dots and dashes. E, the most common English letter, is a single dot; rarer letters get longer codes. SOS is ··· −−− ··· , chosen for being unmistakable.

In written Morse, letters are separated by spaces and words by a slash ( / ). Morse remains in use in aviation navigation beacons, amateur radio and accessibility devices.
