Morse Code

Originally created for Samuel Morse's electric telegraph in the mid-1830s, morse code is a method for transmitting information using standardised sequences of "dots" and "dashes" to represent letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters. Morse code can be used for sound signaling (radio, sound and whistle) and visual signaling (lights and flags).
